[78-L] Subject: Re: Collecting vs. 'Investing'

[Don Chichester]

Someday I am going to try to close the gap (in a cracked record) by using the same method I flatten warped discs, only this time I'll try to force the gap to close--before the record cools.  The 'click' will remain, but the gap might be lessened.  Worth a try, on a hot summer afternoon.
