RE Record Flattening - Try Blind Dog Hi-Fi and Records in Huntington Beach (Brookhurst and Adams, where Whole Foods is). The owner has a piece of equipment from Japan for this purpose. I have a stereo copy of the Alfie soundtrack (1966 film starring Michael Caine, music by Sonny Rollins). Cover in great shape, but vinyl has a wobble in it, skips on side 1 for about 20 seconds. I left the record there and owner ran it through the machine a couple of times. When I came back several days later, it had minimized the wobble, but still skipped, though not as much as on the original play. He charged me $5 which for me was OK. Copies of this LP are pricey.
Nope get a hotplate
