[78-L] How do you successfully play a Durium recorrd?

[Ron L'Herault]

I've had some success dampening the paper backing and then weighing the
record down to flatten it until the paper dries.  If your center spindle
rotates with the turntable, you can try a spring clip rather than a weight
to push down on the center of the record too.

I have Vernon Dalhart's recording of "Letter Edged in Black" on Durium,
9-2, seemingly unplayed, but the warp to the disc makes it impossible to
flatten enough to play without the weight decreasing the speed to where
Vernon Dalhart sounds like Thurl Ravenscroft on muscle relaxants. Anyone
figured it out? Might try playing at 33, and converting speed on Audacity,
but meanwhile, I turn to you.
