I don't think any of the vinyl is moldy (yet), but
some of the album
covers probably are. *Thankfully*, AFAIK none of of the records that made
it into the dumpster were Shellac 78 RPM records. I did acquire a large
stack of 78s from the family this last week. Water would have mostly
ruined those, so I think I lucked out. Sadly, about 85% of the 33 1/3
collection was what I pulled from the dumpster.
Shellac 78's? I have some old records, many are 78's. How should I
clean them? Mine have been sitting in my grandmother's garage, and are
a bit gritty. A few of them I washed with dishsoap and water. I
stopped when it was apparent they were 78's.... that I can't play on my
Pioneer turntable.
Does anyone here know of a good place to get record sleeves? I'm on a
limited budget (which is making things quite tough), so I'd like to find
the best price I can. I'm looking for around 200-250 or so 33 1/3 sleeves,
and probably 100-150 sleeves for 78s.
Record sleeves are something I'd like to find as well. I have most of
the old ones, but am unsure if I should use them. As I mentioned
before, all these records area bit gritty. I don't want to sand them
down everytime I remove them from there old sleeve.
One that I found may be worth money, it is a Disney Snow White record
set :-)
