Old-School Advice of the Day: This is apparently a legitimate quick + dirty hack for cleaning old vinyls with wood glue.
Many audiophiles at AudioKarma swear by its effectiveness, although they do recommend using a backup turntable if possible to avoid accidental glue damage.
Here are some before and after audio clips to compare. Happy hacking!

This looks really terrifying. But it might be worth trying on a couple $2 records I have with surface noise on them (you know, before I even consider fucking with All Things Must Pass and Walls and Bridges, two albums I really, really love but the copies of which have just a tiny bit too much noise for my liking).
cool, i can see how it would be effective. but i wouldn’t risk my turntable or spend hours on that (multiple albums), when i can just wash one by hand. which works pretty well, too.
ooooh. Now I want to try it, but I’m really afraid of fucking up one of my records.
