18 May 06 - 08:38 PM (#1743587) Subject: RE: Preserving your old LP records From: GUEST,Joe_F I have a good buddy who is a real hifier & is gearing up to digitize my LPs. He has actually borrowed a packful of them. He has a special turntable just to clean them. The turntable that will actually play them has little holes in it to suck the disc down so it will be really really flat. He has to be careful where he plugs in the vacuum pump. He is still tweaking the software. In the meantime, I still have a Japanese device that plays them in the old-fashioned way. --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: You shall love your crooked neighbor With your crooked heart. :|| |

We have three of them in the house, if you count the beautiful and functional Victrola in the front room. And during WWII my father picked up a portable Victrola in Burma on the road (literally--in the middle of it, set up as if it had been wound up and played while the British soldiers marched out). That's out in the garage. SRS |
