In Reply to: RE: This record was rated Mint- by the eBay seller. What do you think? posted by hiatt@alaska.net on March 20, 2012 at 17:28:59
I recently bought a used record from Acoustic Sounds, a fairly collectable Mercury which was just $10 and with the typical "0" info "opened amd most likely previously played". Same as pristine Cheskys, etc.
I took out the record and it had several large scuffs on both sides. I figured it was a disaster and why would AS risk their rep like that and offer it for sale?
Well, it cleaned up and plays with just a bit of background crackle and I'm thrilled with the music. Worth the $10 bucks fer sure.
Clean it!
Follow Ups:
fear I have is that the record was played in this terrible dirty state. There are also numerous other fine scratches that might be audible, so it would not be Near Mint even if it were cleaned.
As I mentioned below, I was able to completely restore another extremely dirty LP rated Near Mint yesterday by thoroughly cleaning it with enzyme and detergent solutions.
