[78-L] Clamp them records down, boys

[David Lennick]

Success! I finally found a way to hold down a warped 4-inch Durium Advertising 
Record long enough to play it all the way through (the Chevrolet "Great 
American Value for 1932" disc which is major warped). And believe me, I tried 
all sorts of things, including Scotch Removable Magic Tape (doesn't damage the 
surface of the disc, but also doesn't hold onto it for more than thirty 
seconds). Rummaging through the drawers, I found an old rubber reel clamp 
(Realistic)..had to trim a good quarter inch around the circumference, but it 
clamps onto the turntable spindle and holds the record flat. Yippee!

(Now I can get a decent transfer of it and sell it to the next poor zhlub and 
let him try and figure how to play it.)
