Assuming it "flattens" warped records...shellac 78's are actually
quite easy to unwarp...they become flexible at a fairly low
temperature.

However, flattening warped vinyl records would be much more of a
challenge, since the warping seems to be caused by the plastic
actually growing when subjected to heat...?!
