Pro-JCted IT: Finally, a way to repair distorted records

Collect enough vinyl It guarantees you to find yourself with a few distorted albums that will not be operated properly. You may have left them foolishly under the direct sunlight, and you may not store it flat, or you may have found an old fluctuating scarcity at the price of a deal and I think that you can restore it and overcome the dicozat in its own game.

It is difficult enough Preparing the rotating disk Or selection The right playerBut repairing a distorted record without specialized tools (and its associated knowledge) has long been a lot of pain that deserves so much.

Dancer proteins aim to fix this. It has just been launched for Flatten IT, the first vinyl settlement machine for it. It is a handsome mass of aluminum, with two 12 -inch hot panels that heat and press your precious long players in the figure. Can you save your worst records? In my experience, it’s very good.

There is nothing particularly imagined here, but just a very accurate thermostat that provides the perfect warmth to fix the lacque. Once heated for about an hour, you will maintain a temperature of 136.4 degrees Fahrenheit (58 ° C) and give up any falsification of vinyl. It will fluctuate on only two degrees of this, and once you leave for two hours, up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 ° C), the record can be safely removed.

How much time you press a record depends on vinyl thickness. The pressure of 180 grams will take longer than the most flexible Dynaflex records, and more difficult in the warp. Before I put it in working on my dear collection, but that enhances the distorted white signs in the 1990s, you need to test it on something less precious.
