I'm not exactly sure how he does it, I gotta ask him some day for details  One trick I learned from this cat is, that if there are like old price tags that are 'stuck' on the cover, you can iron the cover to get the price tag off 
You can also use a blow dryer.  true  National Funk League✮✮ | |

A Finnish music magazine actually did a piece about it It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I remember going into one of my favorite spots and say the owner with a can of Ronsonol lighter fluid and a stack of wax and cleaning cloths and I wanted to ask him what was he doing with the lighter fluid  , but it was pretty obvious.National Funk League✮✮ | |

Yup, I tried some things in the past to keep the moisture in the vinyl, that were a bit silly.. like polish oils and different household cleaners.... only on vinyl that was bound for the trash bends. Hey, the only way to find out is by your experiments or someone else's.National Funk League✮✮ | |

If you're really serious about getting into the vinyl arts, I might suggest upgrading to a better turntable with the ability to adjust tracking weight of the tonearm, a replaceable cartridge and a tonearm counter weight. A few relatively inexpensive examples. 
...Pro-Ject Debut III - $299 
...Rega P1 - $395 Then there's always something like the... 
...AVID - ACUTUS REFERENCE for $25,000
Seriously though, you don't want your turntable to act like a meat grinder on your precious vinyl. tA  Tribal Disorder

Real hi-fi unfortunately costs many thousands of pounds. Its insane.
My record player is OK, but I got good cd player and amp though. Found the amp down a car boot sale (swap meat equivilent). Amazinly, its a pretty decent amp. | |

My first record player was one of these but it was a Snoopy brand: 
My very first stereo looked something like this. Like the picture, mine also was a grand prix brand: 
My mother had a console stereo similar to this:
Presently, I have two of these:  Yeah my parents had one of these too. The damn 8 track when it changed tracks would scare the shit out of me when i was a little boy it was so loud.
These were the record players where you had to put a quarter on top of the stylus to keep it from scratching. Brings back memories. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |
