Fixing a broken 78RPM record using a Superglue!. Does it work and how does it sound? #78rpm #78rpmshellac #gramophone #phonograph #recordrepair #crackedrecord #brokenrecord
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. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤❤❤😊
Thanks 😀 👍. I'm sure it's possible to do better, though a lot depends on how clean the crack is. I have more broken records, so may experiment further 🤔😅
Thanks 😀 👍. I've got a proper voice over mic now (Blue Snowball Ice), and I'm still experimenting. I'm not going to voice over everything, but it does give me a lot of flexibility when putting together videos
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 🤔
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 😀 👍
@@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.
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.
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 👍 😀
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.
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 😀 👍
Repent and trust in Jesus. We deserve Hell for our sin. Lying, lusting, etc, but God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and ride from the grave to free us from sin. If you repent and trust in him youll be saved. Romans 3:23 John 3:16❤❤😊❤
Came back to this again since I just got some Glenn Miller in the mail that seemed fine and was packed well but apparently has a few broken pieces. Other than that it's in great shape.
@@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.
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!)

@@lowlightpiano7110 My good sir, there is both a time & a place to praise the good word of the lord. This is neither the time, nor the place.
Well done, I have a couple of broken ones I might try this technique with.
Thanks 😀 👍. Glad you found it interesting 😀
I guess the difference is playable or wall art
Indeed, though one I will repair at some point I will probably just frame as its quite a rare record. Thanks 😀 👍
At least it can now be played . I don’t think there is any good way to fix these click free..
Thanks 😀 👍. I'm sure it's possible to do better, though a lot depends on how clean the crack is. I have more broken records, so may experiment further 🤔😅
Good job my friend much better than throwing them away.
Thanks 😀 👍. Trying to save what I can
Your voice over was well done. This gives us hope for ours
Thanks 😀 👍. I've got a proper voice over mic now (Blue Snowball Ice), and I'm still experimenting. I'm not going to voice over everything, but it does give me a lot of flexibility when putting together videos
@@mrrgstuff it really makes a difference, your voice sounds more, "solid?" Best way I can describe it
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 🤔
@@mrrgstuff yes an improvement
Thanks 😀👍
Would do it to save the music and play it on an electric vintage record player with steel needles to transfer the music.
Possibly, though that record is relatively common as I have found at least one other copy of it.
Thanks 👍 😀
I would think a steel needle will remove the excess glue. Especially at 78
Yes, that does seem quite possible. Thanks 👍 😀
Are you going to throw it
Probably not, though since recording this video, I have found one or 2 more copies of this record. It must have been popular at the time 😅
I also use this technique 🙂Thanks!👍
Seems to work pretty well. Thanks 😀👍
Are is not dangerous?😮😮😮
Can you explain what part of this video you think might be dangerous?
Quite odd that you don't press the two parts together on a flat surface such as a plate of glass.
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 😀 👍

I have tried this with a couple of records but always remains a crack noise in the borders of the junctions.
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 😕

In the old days we used to press a heated gramophone needle into the run-in area which sealed the crack. Crude method - true.
Yes, I did something a bit similar here: ua-cam.com/video/tF7oAQLPkq0/v-deo.html
Thanks 😀 👍
I shall no longer commit suicide or homocide, thank you
Ummm... Ok?
What?

Have a look at this video. All the details are there:

Better than a broken record! good work

Yes, mailing records always seems a bit fraught, no matter how good the packaging is. Hope you get it fixed! 😀👍
