February 11, 2015 ITEM 96 LP CTR Weight
As a result of becoming a Master Bangle Engineer (MBE) I was left with a plethora of wooden centre discs. I gathered the densest of these and glued them onto each other and after much fiddly sanding, putty filling (some of the planks had grooves under them as they were floorboards, putty filling these created great fluid forms on the discs side), spray painting, stamping and varnishing I ended up with this selection of LP record weights. An LP centre weight is a much-touted item amongst audiophile types that is purported to flatten out warps in the LP, minimize vibration and even add to tonal qualities. All I know is that these ones look cool going round and round!
