Vinyl records

[Alan Medic]

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

[FJDGoose]

Yes - what sort of stuff have you got?

[Alan Medic]

Very little. I've got a box set of Springsteen live 75-85. Only a couple others. Sold everything I did have before coming here.
