How Do You Fix A Scratch On A Vinyl Record?
Here is a simple way to fix a scratch on a vinyl record, it requires some assembly time, and the actual “fixing” should be done with great care. • First, create a “speaker”, this will allow you to tell where in the record you are listening. • Take a plain sheet of paper and roll it up to form a cone, narrow at one end and wide at the other, tape it together. • Take a sewing needle, or other similarly sharp, pointy, metallic object, and tape it to the inside narrow edge of the cone. Sharper is probably better. • (optional) tape a Nickle or Quarter to the narrow end to serve as a weight. • You have just created a manual needle and speaker for your record player, if you so desire, you can listen to an entire album with just this device, assuming you can find a way to turn the record at a relatively constant speed, and are careful not to harm the album. • Now, onto fixing the actual album • Listen to the album and take note of where the skip is located • Place your own “home made” needle j
