also dazed, i wouldnt pack them vertically in teh crate, i dont know,s omeone just told me never to store records vertically or flatly, or whatever, my dad says if you store records vertically, they warp, over time, so its your choice |
how the hell am i supposed to store my vinyl then? hanging by its hole on a string?:conf: |

I figure suspend them in an anti-gravity chamber at absolute zero. that oughta stop the ******s from warping....
yah but anyway i'm gonna buy some glass and try storing them about 10 feet from my fireplace and see what happens... ill post all you about it.

I fixed two of mine back to a playable condition by heating each record up with a blow dryer just for a min on each side. Then I put each one in between two big books. Two yearbooks for example. Left it sit for a while and repeated the process and let it sit and they came out in decent shape.
But i still say kick his ass! |

| While on Vacation in Brisbane (aust) i was walking past a record store, so i went in, and i couldnt believe my EYES!!! they had a copy of "Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel" Well Brisbane being so hot and all, all the travelling in the car, when i got home to play it was warped bad, one side, when i put the needle at the start it was so bent that it would jump and skip, so ive put it at the bottom of all my records and put some extra dumb bell weights and stuff, ill see the end result, if its successfull ill let u know, either way.:D :rolleyes: :( :) |

do you mean you put it under all you records like sitting horizontally while everything else is vertical??
like this
IIIIIIII (<= vertical recods in a box or whatever)
-------- (your one horizontal record)
that sounds kinda harsh but maybe itd work.. ? |

Vertical dude, and it works, i put some extra weights on top like weights from dumb bells which i think may of helped, i put a square piece before the weights so that the weights werent directly on top of the records and also so that the weight gets on it evenly.
Good Luck

| It was easy, heat it up with a hair dryers on the side u like the least!! Then I sandwiched the vinyl between two yearbooks for a few hours and repeated a few times. The next day it was good enough to play... |
