how do i fix a warped record?
Special_K
Yes, i would like to know as well, I have a couple warped records. I can still spin them no problem but at times they can be a pain in the ass

me too. one time I baught a vinyl, it seemed fine at the store, but when I got home it was warped inwards in the center. so it doesnt sit flat on my platter. its alright, but skips more easily

But wont it lose its quality and other stuff? :\
migitymike
a bit..but not to much..just dont let it get hot while u have it under books..keep the AC low or something.
but why would u be concerned with quality when the record is pretty much un spinable

In my experience, fixing a warped record rarely, if ever, works. It's probably best to just learn to manipulate the record more delicately so that it doesn't skip while cueing.
