Resurrecting this thread because I'm getting really sick of warped records. Ideally I'd prefer a periphery ring like the VPI ring, but I'm pretty sure there isn't anything out there that would work with my E.A.T. turntable. Half the platter is below the plinth and the portion that's above it slopes downward at an angle.

I found this guy: https://www.waynesaudio.com/product-...eiki-music-lin

but those counter weights look like a no-go for my rig.

The ORB Disc Flattener that's sold over at Acoustic Sounds is $1,600 which is a tad pricey.

The Vinyl Flat and Groovy Pouch is a more reasonable $220, but I'm concerned about what it might do to the grooves of the record since the heating process gets at the entire LP on both sides.

What a conundrum!
