Oooh, I wouldn't use any audiophile liquid you have to apply to the record and leave on. I like the wooden toothpick trick best, feel nervous about the pin ( but I'm a nervous Nellie ) and would have to see the reverse play technique produce an undamaged fix that played back fine on my system, before I tried it myself. What's worked for me in the past has been a sprig of polystyrene (but that's harder than vinyl, so I was lucky) or multiple washes in a VPI.
Any way to fix an LP that skips?
I just finished listening to a 20 year old half-speed mastered version on Springsteen's 'Born To Run'. I'm working my way through my old LP collection as I get back into analog. I have a VPI 16.5 w/ Disc Doctor pads, and cleaned this very well. However, towards the end of Jungleland (one of my favorites) it skips pretty badly. Is there anything I can do with this? Is there any cure? Or is the damage done? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
John
