Any Warp correction LP services available ?

I am aware that there is a record warp flattening system being marketed for about two thousand bucks.I've tried to get my "El Cheapo" audio pals to chip in for it,so we can all benefit,with the occassional warped "Rare Gem" that can be so difficult to replace in perfect shape.No such luck!They'd rather spend 300 bucks for a signed copy of Ida Haendl doing the Sibelius!!

Does anyone know of a reliable "vendor" that might offer a per LP service,to have this done to our beloved,yet slightly warped records.I,for one, would love to see this offered by people like Accoustic Sounds,or The Elusive Disc.

How about it?

I'll probably get in trouble mentioning this, but I would love to get one of those Seal brand presses used to mount photographs to mat board. These had adjustment for pressure and temperature.

I'll bet since everything in photography has gone digital you could get one for a song. Then it would be just a matter of getting crappy warped LP's from garage sales and experimenting with the temp dial and pressure adjustment.

You can see I have had this on my mind for some time. I cannot afford 2K for the occasional warped LP either.

Just looked around the web and found this. Perfect Seal brand press for $400.00.

Probably find one for $150.00 at Ebay. THAT I could afford and justify. Anyone know if the stated temperature range would work on an LP ? ( 150-350 degrees).

I bet a few of your audiobuds will help you fund this venture. Count me in for a share...

The temperetaure you want to shoot for is 150 degrees.
I have done the oven trick with two thick pices of glass. There is some good info on Audio Asylum.

Sirspeedy,

I would be willing to join in for either the photographic press or the 2,000.00 record version if you find enough club members.
