title: : Lessons learned from the problem solving of “fixing” a recent “broken record”. In summary:1. sometimes waiting can (partially) fix a problem or reduce its severity2. applying reasoning and practical math & science (e.g. mechanics & acoustics) to diagnose and take actions can also repair something (at least partially), as well as eliminate possible causes3. web searching for “how to fix” can reveal additional potential causes (and steps to take)The record was a brand new specialty vinyl that I had ordered.Problem: when I placed the record on the turntable and pressed the START button, I could immediately see that it had a bit of a “bump” or rise at a specific spot, once per revolution. When I tried playing it, the needle skipped backwards, just after the bump, because while the needle was able to follow the rise of the bump, it was unable to “fall” fast enough to stay on track (literally), thus losing touch with the vinyl, and when it recontacted, it slid outward to prior revolution of the track.I figured the warping was the problem, and not something I could fix (without risking worse damage), and placed the vinyl back into its double sleeves, into its cardboard cover (still shrinkwrapped except for the side slit I had cut open), then that into the packing and box it was shipped in. I left it flat on a desk (nothing on top) to eventually investigate how to return the record for a replacement or refund.About a week later I looked into the specifics for a replacement/refund which said to take a photo or make a recording of the record problem to submit online.When I put the record back on the turntable, fully confident I would reproduce the problem and record it, I immediately noticed that the “bump” had somehow become much gentler (shorter, less prominent) than I remembered.I gently lowered the needle on the record, and now, on the gentler bump, the needle tracked perfectly. Zero skipping.Somehow simply packing the record in its stiff cardboard and then that in the …
