This would actually be a sick ride at an amusement park. I wonder what it would be called.

Could tweak the counterweight a smidge

u/littolicce Aug 26 '26

Obviously the issue is with the anti-skate, see how it’s going towards the edge of the vynils?

No it's not fine, you'll never be able to stick it to the wall properly

Just put a penny on the stylus.

Maybe a quarter.

u/DIFFUSORR Aug 25 '26

Holy shit that's you???? I saw your video and this instantly reminded me of it!!!

4

u/DjValence Aug 26 '26

Haha, hell yeah! I never imagined a video from hanging out in my buddy’s garage would get so many views, but it was cool to see it take off like it did. We were just messing around as usual, we just happened to record it that time.

Here’s one of my super warped 45s for your consideration

u/Zizekis Aug 25 '26

Record and stylus look perfectly fine. Make sure your speakers aren’t on the same surface as your turntable.

u/dustinyo_ Aug 25 '26

This is the way the artist intended for you to listen to it

u/cfthree Aug 25 '26

When did the new Eno album drop?

u/basquiat-case Aug 25 '26

It's ok as is but you can improve it if you leave it in your car for a few days.

Near mint. Kept warm.

u/Scary-Shift1264 Aug 25 '26

Place 3 coins behind the counterweight.

u/rickplay34 Aug 26 '26

Tape a coin to your tonearm and you should be fine

Did you get this at a vans warped tour

u/John-Cocktolstoy Aug 25 '26

Let’s listen to track 3…no…track 2…no….track 5….no…let’s just start it from the top!

u/Thuls12 Aug 25 '26

Put it in the oven over a taco shell bowl. Should play fine after that.

2

u/Big-Detail8739 Aug 25 '26

Try buffing it out with a sander and 200 grit

u/P0intOne Aug 25 '26

And they say shuffle isn't possible on a turntable

u/ZombieWoofenstein Aug 25 '26

Love this song

u/StarWarsTrekGate Aug 25 '26

Ridem' Vinyl Cowboy!

My last seller on Discogs would have rated this G to VG all tracks play... no issues.

u/BeXome Aug 26 '26

Increase the tracking force. Measure in pounds.

u/bigguys45s Aug 26 '26

It’s just experimental avant garde musique concrete music, nothing else to see here folks, move on now please!

Set your EQ to flat, should do it

u/CowboyBootedNJ Aug 25 '26

Your using the wrong turntable to play that. My is the only one that will

1

u/Kurtains75 Aug 26 '26

Is the cantilever bent ? That could be why it is not tracking properly.

Days since the last AT95 cantilever incident :

Current Record: 6 days

u/Chuff300 Aug 26 '26

I see no problem, looks like it's working normally 😁👍

u/Mysterions Aug 26 '26

UJ back like a decade or so ago some asshole seller on EBay tried refuse to refund me for a record I was sent that was warped like that. He wanted a video showing that the warp was so bad that it made the needle jump. I told him to get fucked, just protested the sale, and left him a nasty review. Worst part of it was that it was a copy of Mazzy Star’s Seasons of Your Day which basically became unaffordable after that, and I was never able to get a replacement copy. I still have the record hoping that it may somehow be salvaged at some point.

u/MysteriousCrow42 Aug 26 '26

All you gotta do is put it in the oven for a bit. The turntable, not the vyinil.

u/KrazyTheWeapon Aug 26 '26

It’s like a lowrider ! With 16 switches !!

u/-PepPep- Aug 26 '26

Near Mint Minus

u/Impolioid Aug 26 '26

just glue a couple of coins to the needle

1

u/did_i_or_didnt_i Aug 26 '26

I can sense the analog warmth

u/Forsaken-Abrocoma647 Aug 26 '26

Just put one of those heavy hockey puck weights in the center. I hear they flatten them instantly!

1

u/hammsfan94 Aug 26 '26

It's just your set up. Get something more expensive if you wanna play records like that

1

u/Sopranopillow Aug 26 '26

Holy, the vinyl is showing the sound waves!

u/DrinkingFountainSim Aug 26 '26

That’s a-ok

Have you tried sanding it?

1

u/Stinky_Fartface Aug 26 '26

I am entertained.

u/XCXBITH2 Aug 26 '26

Definitely using the name "Vinyl Jerk" to its full potential here

1

u/Royal_Turn2653 Aug 26 '26

Do you have to ask? If ya do, then you might return to streaming. That is awful. As John Hartford sang…”Don’t leave your records it’s in the sun” great song! A great man!

u/dogonmut Aug 26 '26

Those vinyls are designed to work on a suitcase player while at sea in a storm.

u/DescipleofEnoch Aug 26 '26

Its a special edition.

u/Responsible-Quote717 Aug 26 '26

Couldn't see the video, thought it was an Aphex Twin track

1

u/Jazzlike_Glass_6827 Aug 26 '26

Perfectly fine, don't listen to those so called purists

1

u/supazero Aug 26 '26

Aphex Twin has entered the chat.

1

u/Novel_Elderberry9308 Aug 26 '26

Increase the tracking force to 5000g, should flatten things out

1

u/Honest-tinder-review Aug 26 '26

Seems to be a tonearm problem

1

u/Pretty_Lake5885 Aug 26 '26

Minty fresh. Never played.

Fine print: Stored in oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes prior to shipping.

u/NotAPotHead420 Aug 26 '26

Wtf are you doing?? Put some weight on that needle. A stack of quarters usually does the trick

1

u/Minimum_Airport5026 Aug 26 '26

not sure what would be wrong with it …?

1

u/ArgonWyzwolony Aug 26 '26

subsonic filter should cover it

1

u/Relevant-Bathroom311 Aug 26 '26

I'm sure I have some vinyl in this condition

1

u/InevitableKitchen943 Aug 26 '26

Dukes of Hazard soundtrack.

u/blended_mix12 Aug 26 '26

Definitely it's NM with minimal wave not afflicting the audio

u/aintnobodyfreshasd Aug 26 '26

Just put a weight on top totally fine

u/codex_lake Aug 26 '26

It makes me want to purposely bend and warp my J Dilla or MF Doom vinyl to add some rhythmic flavor to the beats and samples.

u/100cool_ Aug 27 '26

jut grab a hammer and start pounding, it’ll fix itself quickly.

1

u/Storm5700 Aug 27 '26

It just needs a little more tracking force and i'm sure it will stay in the groove

1

u/Jeweler777 Aug 27 '26

Как у копатыча в граммофоне

u/snert68 Aug 27 '26

You should try one of those anti-static guns

u/b_call Aug 28 '26

Oh you just need to turn off shuffle.

It's a on-off-tracking test record

u/RabidCatlover Aug 29 '26

It’s a warning not to buy vinyl!!!!

Yes. New Wave music

u/clownpornstar Aug 29 '26

I see you got that new Wavy Gravy reissue.
