Record Pi System

I will say, it did what I was hoping it would do. Took way more time and heat than I thought it would and was recommended (Finally got the warp out at 135 F for like 12 hours, spent roughly 16 hours before that with no success) but it was a horrific warp. Lessons learned and such though. The app thing is way more necessary than I would have thought it would be too, so I appreciate that

My wife recently bought me a turntable so I could rediscover all of my 1970s vinyl. However, I've stupidly and improperly stored my records in a box in the attic - an extremely hot Texas attic - and most of them are badly warped. After much research, I settled on the Record Pi. And it's been a life saver! Records that were barely playable and sounded horrible have been recovered! When I first set the record on the Record Pi, it's obvious how warped it is - it doesn't make full contact with the bottom plate all the way around. After one bake, sometimes two (I do flip the record between bakes), the record sits flat on the Pi and spins with little wobble on the turntable. Distorted sound is replaced by clean music as it was intended. For best results, pair this with a deep-cleaning system like the HumminBird EZ Record Washer, and after drying place the record in a new premium master sleeve (like Big Fudge). Then you're ready to flatten with the Record Pi.

Initially, I was somewhat skeptical. However, the results are remarkably effective. My records are never significantly warped; some are slightly warped to the point that I can hear the difference. RecordPi is effectively flattening them. Their customer service is outstanding; they promptly replaced a defective heating bag, and I sincerely appreciate their promptness and professionalism. Victor
