Vinyl Repair?

$25 on Discogs for a NM/M- original pressing copy.  This is the only way to get rid of the deep scratch.  You can get a copy for $5 too, but a NM/M- condition of quality will be the correct satisfaction for replacing your NM copy.  

That's what I would do so it's just my opinion.  Good luck to you.  I hope that you are enjoying a quality replacement within a week.

This is probably a topic for a new thread…

I have run out of vertical LP storage and have many records now horizontally.

Have always known that this will warp records.

How accurate is this?

Warp city for sure its a NO NO!!

I haven't tried this but I wonder if rubbing the damaged area with a Mr. Clean scrubbing pad with a little water would remove the groove nicks toward the top of the grooves without damaging the rest of the groove. It's soft and slightly abrasive but not near as bad as sandpaper. I'd try it on some old inherited damaged LP's for grins but my TT is down,

Thanks everyone.  I clearly need to hang out on Discogs more. 

I am going to try the toothpick and will advise if for nothing else future time travelers to take advantage of should they happen upon this thread.
