  2. Hey, glad to see ya here...... Now Greg will have to behave.......
  3. do they skip only in the car? if so take a known good cd and test the car player, if it skips then the laser lens may need to be cleaned, or is just dead, cars get very hot. I polish out the scratches from my cd's with a headlight buffing wheel and polish, fine scratches buff right out, deeper ones take a few min. saved cd's and dvd's this way. does the disc look like the alum has micro cracks below the plastic surface?
  4. I got a bottle of Tergitol®, 15-S-7, Surfactant now I can get to work..... :--d thinking about ultrasonic, but right now the vpi is doing okay. I do think I have 1 record that I cant get to sound better, I am starting to think is damaged, of course its one I really like (this mortalcoil) all my other sound great after cleaning.... I did a before an after on a few just to see whats what.

  9. Hellraiser..... "Security Guard 1: Don't make us put some pain on you! Pinhead: Pain? How dare you use that word? Security Guard 2: He's got... pins in his head. Pinhead: What you think of as pain is a shadow. Pain has a face. Allow me to show it to you. Gentlemen, I... Am... Pain"
  10. you might try the hair dryer trick, but I dont think you will get all of it out. also try running your hand from the back side covering the slots in the problem area. if the buzz goes away, slap a pc of duct tape over this area. its not a real fix but it will help. this worked on mine, and stopped ribbon slap in a few areas as to the screws, maybe a bit more. but that would be it.
  11. the hair dryer will work, but it may loosen up after a few months. I did a set that had a few buzzes fixed them for the most part. the other thing to try is apply a strip of felt on the back side of the ribbon, from top to bottom. tape or contact cement will work. also a note, on the latter ribbons on the inside, in the centers there was a small pc of foam that was glued to the magnet, front and back. on a ribbon that had a real buzzy/slappy area I did this and stopped the noises. I can find the post I did on this if you need to go this route, just let us know......
