If the record plays OK, leave it alone. If a record is seriously warped, the only thing I know of that will help (and do additional damage in the process) is to put the vinyl in between two large pieces of glass in a barely-warm oven, then don't even think about touching it until the whole thing has cooled back down to room temperature. This will melt the whole thing slightly, so only makes sense if the record is unplayable otherwise. --Mark On Mon, 24 Feb 1997, Howard Shih wrote:
