    How do you fix warped records?

    I use "VINYL FLAT RECORD FLATTENER + GROOVY POUCH". Cost me under $200 bucks!

    I have flattened all my records perfectly with this device. My worst warped record, Fleetwood Mac: Tusk. It's now perfectly flat.

    How do you flatten your vinyl safely?

    Anyone try the Furutech record flattener? Something like 2.5K...

    Contrary to what I spend on AK. The Furutech is MSRP $2500. The Vinyl Flat plus Pouch is a bargain and works flawlessly. I had my doubts. But every LP, 12", 10" and 7" I have flattened has come put crazy perfect.

    I've had my Air Tight flattener for between 5 and 10 years. I probably have flattened 1000 records in that time (7% of my collection), almost all dish warps, mostly in boxed sets. Works great. I think it came out before the Furutech, similar price (though I don't remember exactly how much.) Also way before the Vinyl Flat plus Pouch. When I bought the Air Tight, the most common way to flatten was to put the offending record between two thick pieces of plate glass and clamp them together and put in the oven to bake for a few hours at a low temperature.
