2. DF-2 Description
The DF-2 Flattener is designed to flatten LPs that have warped over time but not those that have been
heat damaged. This is an improved version of the previous DFV-1 and has been carefully designed to
flatten heavier LPs with no beads on their outer circumference. The DF-2 has improved time and
temperature control to lessen the influence of seasonal temperature changes on the heating process.
Caution: Before attempting to flatten any rare or valuable LPs, please test and become familiar with the
operation of the DF-2 on an LP of no value. Results cannot be guaranteed and LPs cannot be returned to
perfect condition.
Generally there are three types of LP discs (33 1/2 rpm):
1. Lightweight LPs (120g approx.)
2. LPs with groove guards: All but a few manufacturers’ LPs are treatable.
Note: The following LPs should not be treated in the DF-2.
• LPs weighing less than 110g
• Light LPs that were manufactured between 1973-74 (Oil crisis)
weights range from 100g to 115g.
3. Conventional middleweight LPs (140g approx.)
LPs with groove guards: All but a few manufacturers’ LPs are treatable.
4. Heavyweight LPs (190g approx.)
Heavy LPs without groove guards are now treatable.
