[78-L] Record Clamps Usefulness

[David Lennick]

You'll know if the record is at risk..I've used a weight (not a clamp) for 
years. It came out of a CBC studio. Now, because I reverse the record mat 
(rubber up or felt up) depending on what I'm playing (and this also serves to 
remind me which cartridge is in the arm), I find that most 78s will stay in 
place on the felt side without the need of being held down except in extreme 
circumstances. Where the weight really comes in handy is when I'm playing super 
thin 70s LPs, especially French RCAs which are ALWAYS dished.
