Cleaning & Restoring Transformer Vinyl Record by Lou Reed 

Enjoy watching these restoration videos. As others have said, get rid of the paper inner sleeves and also chuck the old plastic covers, no need to keep those. Get new crystal clear outer sleeves. Gluing the cover is an easy and worthy practice, I do it all the time with clear glue. Very nice job and great album too!

Awesome edition and great album. thx for sharing!

Great to see you back! I've really enjoyed your previous videos. All the best.

Great to see another video. I’m enjoying watching you experiment with various techniques in each video. One piece of advice: get rid of the old PVC sleeve. They let out a gas that will not only stain your record but other records around it (it’s called “outgassing”). Some of that grime you were wiping off was the chemicals from the plastics sweating from the sleeve. There are a few videos and articles online showing photos of it staining records. Replace them with some new modern sleeves, stick on the old price tag if you want the nostalgia and you’ll be fine.

Very cool. Love to watch your videos for tips

Great album. Amazing for such an old record.

Loves it

Where can i get that facila brush?

I don't know why you need 1% isopropanol alcohol I can't see that doing much. There's no issue using a stronger mix say 20% even pure. isopropanol alcohol comes in a PVC bottle what vinyl is with coloring and release agent if there was any issues with the bottles with isopropanol alcohol they wouldn't put it in the bottles. The only stuff you can't use it on it's shellac 78 and those flexi discs. You still need a wetting agent like some pure soap car body soap without the wax. You can try this for really dirty records if they don't come out clean and have a lot of surface noise! Its called (auto groom) meant for cleaning vinyl in cars. Is a foam spread it in with a fine brush leave it for about three minutes and rinse off. I like those label protectors where'd you get that from? There's some evidence some cases of the outer sleeve gasing off old type of pvc and getting onto the record permanently damaging I wouldn't be using old outer slaves just get polyurethane ones

Great results! But please change that paper inner sleeve to a proper one! Paper sleeves can damage record surface!

Heads are exploding. Oh my gawd he used water…… Nice job, ppl who want to cry about a $1 worth of material being played on a $1k turntable through a $5k cart into a $30k pre-amp into a $100k amp to $500k speakers are the the true masters of the universe. Only think different would have done was replace the outer sleeve, com’on they’re a nickel each, splurge

This shows you exactly what you should NOT do, thumbs down.
