menzze Help: restoring old 78's (18) RE: Help: restoring old 78's 12 Feb 01


I still have lots of them from my dad and had the same problem as you. The best results I got with handwarm water, if you have take chemically clean water, mixed with a bit of neutral washing liquid. Don't get the water too hot nor take any alcool or things like nitro or aceton or things like that.That will destroy the shellac. Store them upright, dry and cool, wrapped in clean acidfree paper and they will last a real long time menzze
