Dear All, My own approach is to keep the atmosphere damp, which in a British climate usually isn't difficult. For vinyl LPs, I do not use any magic potions at all; I just keep a saucer of water with a sponge sitting in it under the lid of my turntable. It helps if the deckplate is warm since this accelerates the evaporation. Since my turntable is the highest item in a pile of equipment, I switch on the other stuff in the rack for an hour or two beforehand when the wider climate is below freezing, when there is no humidity in the air at all. Hope these suggestions help for cylinders, Peter Copeland Former Conservation Manager British Library Sound Archive

Anyone routinely try to eliminate static on cylinders? I saw a product called the Milty ZeroStat3 which is supposed to float ions atop the record and eliminate any charge. What do people do for discs and (my interest) cylinders? Eugene
