Cpeetz - the side to side wobble is lopsided grooves. In the process of flattening the record you have expanded the groove to where it is not a perfect circle. This will cause flutter, pitch problems, and possibly skipping on sensitive decks. It is not a good thing.
If you do that to a valuable record it is no longer valuable.
I don't know why you guys insist on ruining your records. I have flattened so many of my records the machine has paid for itself. If you have a record that is worth money please do not put it in the oven or the microwave. That is foolish. Are you the same guys that clean your records with glue and tap water and shit? When I see collections like this I cry.
We are talking about a couple hip hop 12"'s here so I'm not super worried. I took two unplayable records and made them playable. All for the cost of.... Nothing. These two weren't worth the $30 plus shipping it would have cost to use your service.
Awesome.
I am just stating the facts so that people make informed decisions before fucking up potentially valuable records.
Microwave? Pizza pan? The thought alone gruels me dude.
There are certain parts of my contract that specify not reaching within 50 feet in any direction of Urban Outfitters or products associated with that brand.
Cryogenetics, dude. Unaltered grooves. Flat records. Thank me later.
In this instance, exposure to extremely high winds might actually do the trick. The thing is, you have to gently "rock" the record back and forth during the wind exposure process in order for it to work.
Interestingly, this only works with Scorpions records.
It's very difficult to know without looking at the record.
Gradual lip warps and dish warps are easy, very specific "bump" warps quite difficult, heat warps are either unchanged or made worse. The weight of the vinyl, the type of warp, all those things are important to the process.

Sorry.
Yeah my two experiments are not for the faint of heart or for rare records.
People if you want a tried and true dewarping method use a professional.
