Many of the records in this auction have been culled as duplicates from my personal collection of over 4000 LPs. Others are more recent acquisitions for eBay, that I treat with the same respect as my own.

 

My Process for handling records

1. Visual Inspection – discard any majorly flawed records

2. Remove static with ZeroStat

3. Brief treatment with Discwasher to remove surface dust

4. Complete wash and rinse Disc Doctor and RO water

5. Remove rinse with Nitty Gritty vacuum

6. Air dry in dust-free negative air space
