How to fix a warped record. Then wait for about 10 minutes. After sending several back cr automatically checked and flattened records before they sent them to me at no extra charge. If you re in a rush you can quickly fix a warped vinyl record using an oven.

You have reminded me of when i bought a queen 12 of one vision red vinyl and it was warped. For the extremely unreasonable costs of vinyl records these days i would accept no warp whatsoever. It tracks the groove fine and doesn t skip or bounce or anything and sounds great. I took it back and the replacement we checked in the shop was also warped.

Whichever way you decide to go just remember that a slightly warped record that plays is better than one that looks like a salad bowl because you accidentally overheated it in your oven. So i ended up with a normal one. Not much more than the original. But it s slightly bugging me that the record is slightly warped if only for aesthetic reasons.

There is a phenomenon called vinyl memory that the audio writers in the 70s and 80s used to write about in the context of warped vinyl. We highly recommend you try the 1 st method to fix warped record before going on an unnecessarily dangerous and risky adventure. If you check the prices now the red vinyl one is worth. Place some weight onto it approximately 1 kg.

First place the record between 2 sheets of glass and heat it in the oven at 175 degrees fahrenheit for 3 minutes. The best way to fix a warped record is to take 2 pieces of thick glass turn on your oven to 150 degrees fahrenheit place one piece of glass into the oven then your vinyl record onto it and then the second piece of glass on top of the record. The basis of this if i recall correctly is that a warped vinyl disc will always try to resist efforts to change its shape so essentially you are fighting the record s vinyl memory. Then take the glass and record out of the oven and place a heavy object on top of the glass until everything is fully cooled.

Even only a couple hundred miles away sometimes i would receive slightly warped records from classic records.
