...from what I've read in the sales literature, it works by heating the edge and the center of the record only (not the whole thing). They don't say the temp. Perhaps that's why it doesn't cause the lateral distortion?Given the price, unless you are a dealer, have a 'vinyl lovers club' in your neighborhood with a nice membership, or have a lot of money to toss around, I can't see how the machine would be a good buy. I've been collecting for forty years and have about 10,000 lps myself, and I can't say that dish warps have been a common, or even more-than-very-occasional, problem - certainly not enough to justify the $$$.
