Pedipsens Pulterkammer
(Pedipsens lumber room) hope to convince you, that it´s a shame to
scrap your old vinyl- and shellac-records.
Though perhaps technically
outdated by several digital media, the old records will still give you
hours and hours of listening pleasure - if you take good care of the
records
and play them on decent and well serviced equipment.
Many records are
not re-issued on cd, and in flea markets and garages you can find a lot
of interesting music, worth listening to and preserve for the future
generations.
Give the records
a second chance. Read and be inspired. If you don´t bother the effort,
then send me a mail and tell me what you want to get rid of!
Clean
the records and listen!
Dust and grit is
grinding the grooves, while the pickup is playing the record.
Keep your fingers
from the grooves. Hold the records by the edge with your thumb,
supporting
the label with the rest of your fingers.
In daily use a dry
cleaning with a (perhaps antistatic) brush is sufficient.
When playing especially
abused records, you have to clean them more thouroughly - preferably
with
a washing-machine like I have built from scrap materials on the basis
of
an old turntable.
Look at the brief
descpriptions and be inspired by the pictures. If you have questions or
suggestions, please mail me.
Yours Hans Henrik
Pedersen, Pedipsens Pulterkammer.
