    Well done on the handy work! I’m heartened now that I might be able to salvage a couple of brittle faves. (I’d gladly take the pops over tossing out!)

      Thanks 😀 👍. I think a lot depends on how clean the crack is, but if it's a single well fitting piece, then repair certainly is an option. I have more broken records so I may experiment further 🤔😅

      Repent and trust in Jesus. Hes the only way. We deserve Hell because weve sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.

      So an improvement? Last 2 or 3 videos were done with the new mic. Everything before that was using my Panasonic camcorder (or older cameras), either when filming or as a voice over mic afterwards 🤔

    Question: if I were to send you one of these records, could you fix it? I just bought one today, and I came back to my car to find it with a sizable piece broken off. I don’t know if spending any time in the car had any effect on it, but it might have.

    • @mrrgstuff
      @mrrgstuff  Před 10 měsíci

      I think realistically, there is too much risk of further breaks in transit to make it worthwhile. Also, to be honest, the results are rather hit and miss. Some pieces glue back in Ok and some have tiny fragments missing, which cause holes along the repaired edge. It is worth giving it a try, though use a tiny amount of glue applied with a pin or similar. If you squeeze directly onto the record, there will probably be too much, and it will ooze out into the grooves. Good luck. Thanks 😀 👍

  • @mertonnephake
    @mertonnephake Před 2 měsíci

    I wonder if you appplied a wood glue on both sides of the record surface and then stick the broken pieces together on a flat surface, that wood glue could potentially protect the grooves on both sides from being damaged by the superglue close to treated area and once the record was superglued, the wood glue could be tear off from the surface of both sides, it’s just an idea.

    • @mrrgstuff
      @mrrgstuff  Před 2 měsíci

      Yes, that's an interesting idea. I know wood glue will peel off vinyl records. Not sure about shellac ones. Maybe something I could test in the future 🤔. Thanks 👍 😀

    In the old days we used to press a heated gramophone needle into the run-in area which sealed the crack. Crude method - true.

    • @mrrgstuff
      @mrrgstuff  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes, it certainly is not a perfect repair. The click can be minimised electronically from a recording, but it is harder to improve the actual record 😕

      Yes, I've done one like that where it hadn't cracked all the way through. I have many more damaged ones, so might do some more videos. Have you see this one? czcams.com/users/shorts2HzIQP67YAE?feature=share

    You should have puzzled it in and pushed the broken piece into place so that the grooves will line up.

    • @mrrgstuff
      @mrrgstuff  Před 3 měsíci

      To be honest, I thought I had. It was only after looking more closely I could see it wasn't as aligned as it might have been. This type of glue can dry very quickly, so I didn't hang around. Other glues might give more opportunities to align things.

  • @Gennettor-nc8kx
    @Gennettor-nc8kx Před 2 měsíci

    Quite odd that you don't press the two parts together on a flat surface such as a plate of glass.

    • @mrrgstuff
      @mrrgstuff  Před 2 měsíci

      I think I was concerned that rubbing it against a flat service might cause the glue to smear into the grooves. I can see that it might help, though. Thanks 😀 👍

    • @hanseekhoff1093
      @hanseekhoff1093 Před 2 měsíci

      @@mrrgstuff I think the idea is to apply glue to the large piece, hold that in place and slide the unglued smaller piece towards it. It would make it easier to fit at the exact spot and press together for a minute or so until dry, thus the super glue stays in place.

      @@mrrgstuff I have mostly had good experiences with having 78s mailed but of course eBay especially is always a gamble. The seller said it was VG+ and the only picture was the record in the sleeve which made me wonder if it was already broken but somehow I doubt it. I will admit I was a little sad to see the pieces of playable surface fall out when I excitedly took the record out of its sleeve and had a surprise of shellac chunks falling out. I don't currently have the tools on hand. I have a soldering iron but I don't have super glue so that's on my list. I'd love to glue it back together. I did "risk it for the biscuit" so to speak and tested it aligned with my Grado 78E and it clicks but still plays but decided not to finish the whole side. The stylus is still fine and still sounds normal on my other 78s. I guess being a diamond stylus also helps. I have heard claims of it being a fragile one but I have had no issues with it and even my earliest records don't have sharp run-outs. It's also the better of the two Grado options. I also find the cartridge tracks very well and doesn't even loop on Chick Bullock's Ace in The Hole no matter how I set the tracking force.
