laxx Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Wow, that's pretty cool. You'd never have to worry about old records anymore. But it still can't help a record that's in bad condition can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Wow, that's pretty cool. You'd never have to worry about old records anymore. But it still can't help a record that's in bad condition can it? If I remember correctly from listening to the broadcast, it can read through scratches (to an extent) and even work around a broken piece, provided you still have the broken piece.
