This Machine Flattens Your Old Warped Vinyl Records

“The aptly named “Flatten It” device is designed to do exactly what its name suggests: flatten warped vinyl records. This isn't some DIY hack; it's a purpose-built machine that uses carefully controlled heat and pressure to restore your records to their original, pristine condition.”

Some things improve over time. I don't ever recall seeing such a device back in the 1970s and 1980s when we all used vinyl records.

Nice to know there is a safe way of “tuning” your vinyl records. I still have all my old vinyl records (along with the player) and I certainly could have used this device back in the day. I loaned one record out to a friend, and she left it in her car, and the record buckled a bit. I had to throw that record away.

But this device is not at all cheap at US$850.

Jeez $850! I actually salvaged a record by it being in storage in a hot attic for several years. The records were very tightly packed and whilst not flat, it's actually playable which it wasn't...
