These are my findings.
- Severely scratched records goes to the bin.
- Minor scratched records gets "fixed" by using real-time click-repair
But what about other possible "fixes" (found on the internet):
- Using toothpick or cactus spines and microscope to even out the scratch - these are too large to fit into the groove where the damage is done.
- Using a DJ stylus at 4-5 g VTF and by using the DJ scratch method, moving the stylus back and forth over the scratch to even it out. Anyone tried that?
- Using fine sandpaper like 2500 to 10 000. Only removes surface scratches that usually are not causing any problems. Sanding deeper might fix it - anyone tried that?
