Re: [ARSCLIST] 78 RECORDS MILDEW AND MOLD

[Helen Dearing <HelDear@xxxxxxx>]

WELL, THE MORE I READ THE RESPONSES, THE MORE I RELALIZE THE LESS I KNOW. I
ASSUME WHEN YOU SAY "CYLINDER" YOU ARE REFERRING TO A CYLINDER SHAPE. IF THAT
IS TRUE, THEN I DO NOT HAVE ANY CYLINDERS. ALL MY RECORDS ARE FLAT, ROUND AND
12 INCHES ACROSS. AND YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE WORST CONDITIONS ARE THE EXACT
CONDITIONS THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BEEN STORED IN FOR 5 YEARS.

AFTER I HAVE CLEANED A RECORD, IT APPEARS PERFECT.
HOW DO I IDENTIFY THE MATERIAL OF THE RECORD? I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME ARE
MUCH THICKER THAN OTHERS.

YOU SUGGEST THAT THEY CAN BE STORED WITHOUT SLEEVES AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT
RUB AGAINST EACH OTHER. TOUCHING EACH OTHER IS OK IN YOUR OPINION, RIGHT? WHAT
AM I MISSING? THAT SEEMS A CONTRADICTION. TO PULL ONE OUT, RUBBING IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.

I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY SIZE EXCEPT 12 INCH DIAMETER RECORDS, AS THAT IS ALL I
HAVE SEEN SO FAR.

I LIKE THE MILK CARTON IDEA. THAT JUST MIGHT BE THE WAY TO GO FOR ME. I LIVE
ON A FARM, VERY CLOSE TO THE FIELDS AND GET A GREAT DEAL OF DUST AT CERTAIN
TIMES WHEN THE FIELDS ARE BEING WORKED. MABY I COULD SET A CARTON IN A LARGE
PLASTIC TRASH BAG AND PUNCH A SMALL HOLE IN EACH, FOR BREATHING.I SURE DO NOT
EVER WANT TO CLEAN THEM AGAIN, NOT EVEN DUST THEM EVER AGAIN.

IT HAS JUST OCCURED TO ME,.... DO I HAVE 78'S??? MABY I STARTED MY WHOLE HELP
MESSAGE WITH THE WRONG SIZE.

I AM ABOUT TO LIGHT A MATCH TO THIS WHOLE PROJECT. SO LITTLE I KNOW ABOUT A
VERY BIG SUBJECT.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND KINDNESS WITH YOUR RESPONSE.

IF YOU EVER NEEN ANY HELP ON MILITARIA, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE A REQUEST.
I THINK I WILL JUST MOVE MY FOCUS BACK TO SOMETHING I KNOW AT LEAST A LITTLE
ABOUT. GIGGLE  RESPECTIVELY HELEN
