This thing makes sense. I have a number of LPs that could use a flattener. I don't doubt that the flattener that costs over $1500 did the job but there is no way I have or do I get enough severly warped cheap used LPs that I could justify spending over $1500. At that price it was out of the question.

I have an original 1977 George Thorogood LP and an early UK pressing of Abbey Road that could use some flattening. I'm sure there are quite a few others in my collection that falls into the "I wish I had a LP flattener" category.

A tad over $150USD is exactly the right price point to rescue cheap LPs from the trash heap. Spending $1500 for the same thing is close to lunacy.

Conversely, if I had multiple expensive warped LPs $1500 might sound reasonable. The expensive LPs that I own are all the kind of LPs that better be flat or I would have sent them back to the dealer. Not spend another $1500 to flatten them.

Maybe its just me,

PS. My Vinyl Flat and the warming pouch is supposed to be here Friday.
