[net.audio] warp ring?

ark (02/15/83)

I have some warped records that I want to be able to play.
I am told that I can buy a ring-shaped weight
to hold down the edge of the record.
I have so far been unable to locate one for
less than $150.  This is an outrageous price.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

An alternative to weights, clamps, etc. for playing warped
records is the vacuum pump. There is an accessory vacuum pump
available - forget the company, see recent Stereo Reviews.
Luxman also makes a table with an integral pump that is 
supposed to work very well. These devices are probably not
cheap, of course.
