WC>-> Temps got to 90F and over 70 humitity today, so after
WC>-> yard chores I spent the rest of the day in our naturally
WC>-> air conditioned basement ( Wayne will recognize this as
WC>-> the "celler" in our 1800s home 8-). After transplanting
WC>-> some tomato seedings; fixing a couple chairs and fans;
WC>-> I found a small carton of what appears to be some classic
WC>-> 78 vinyl records that has collected some yuck.

WC>-> Several of you all have discussed copying old recordings so
WC>-> I am hopeing you will be able to advise me how to best clean
WC>-> these records before I attempt playing and copying (some
WC>-> other very hot day 8-( please.

WC>At a guess a mild diluted dishwashing detergent
WC>and lint free cloth but that's just a guess.


I don't know abput Artifiucal Drying. Seems to me the Smart Move would
be "Air Movement" Drying in a controled Temperature and Humidity
enviroment.. Like an Air Conditioned room.
