| I have a can of compressed air next to my tables, so when my record is dusty I spray literally for 3 seconds and its clean :) |

OMG... GREAT IDEA! I never thought of that... like really... how do you spray it? like top down or with the "grain" of the vinyl?
I might use that on my machine! |

What do you think of...
A machine that you place the record in, apply any solution that you want to use, spin it around with a cleaner like cloth / brush then to cap it off, spray with air...
please! give me feedback...! |

sounds good and everything. When you build it, make sure to send me one =)))
I would hold the vinyl vertically and go around in circles. |

Thanks for the info and the link... good stuff |

| If you could combine it so it also dewarps the vinyl. Even slight warps/waves, not just major warps. might be getting a tad complicated now though |

I wish I could do that... I've been trying to think of a way to do it because i have the same problem... you know the records all warped and when you go to cue, your needle pops off, screwing you up... sucks right?
I think the only way to do this would be to heat the vinyl a little but thats a little to difficult, I think it would damage the record more then help it...
But I'll try to think of some more ideas...
If anyone has anymore, leave some... |

i learned this little trick from watching oakenfold...
when dj'ing, wear long sleeves so you can wipe down the record with your elbow...IT WORKS! |
