New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener?

Due to manufacturing problems the pouch will not be available until the end of Sept.

Dang. They're now saying another 3 weeks with customs involvement. They must be having the pouch made you-know-where, which might explain the reasonable pricing (although some cough cough grcoughant fidelity might pocket that)....

I have the Vinyl Flat record flattener and love it. Its all to easy to get the records dead flat. The product is very well made and thought out.

I think the instructions err on the side of caution as I have also experimented with not so valuable records leaving them in the heat for longer than first recommended - no problems at all.

The choices to expertly flatten records are Furutech at $2000 or Vinyl Flat at under $100. I can't believe anyone needs to even think about it!

Anyone tried this with *really* warped records?

I got an e-mail from John Martindale to say the pouch is available and shipping, so I have ordered one. Since I am due in two weeks to acquire another two boxes (each box is ~ 100 LPs) of the record collection I am inheriting piecemeal, I kind of hope one of them will be warped! None have been as yet, but there are 900 more classical LPs to come. They have taught me to love the Nonesuch label.
