I've got some I want to offload. Haven't been used in 25 years or more. How can I tell if they are in good condition as I don't have a record player (what I used to call them anyway)? Might they be damaged other than with scratches and are scratches visible to the untrained eye?


Any expert advice out there please?

Most scratches are visible to the eye (depending on your eyes and age of course)

If they are dirty or dusty they can be cleaned (rat records in camberwell has a machine)


How have you stored them, upright or fiat (upright stops warping as flat puts weight on them)


What have you got as I love the warmth of vinyl

    • Plastic flower pots full stop, have so many of them and most go into the recycling rather than being reused.
    • Flower pot sizes. Even ones that look as if they should fit together don't . Same with the saucers that go underneath them. Why aren't they standardised? GRRRRR. I made the mistake of starting to clear out my loft (I still have a pre-gentrification type loft). Now my (pre-gentrification type) kitchen is filled with zillions of flower pots and saucers. I am so irrationally enraged that I need to sit down with a nice cup of tea. I've just put the kettle on.
    • hah ha! On the subject of dodgy keys and also police protocol with stolen cars, my first car was a 1969 mini which you could open and start by wiggling a small flat-headed screwdriver. No wonder it was stolen. About a week later the police called to say they'd spotted it on the Dog Kennel Hill estate opposite East Dulwich station. In those days parking was free so at least I didn't receive any tickets, but I surprised the police just left a message with the address and expected me to go and pick it up. I was slightly worried I'd have to tackle the culprits myself when I arrived.
    • Great pub, great deals and great service! Food is second to none Highly recommend 👌
