These 44 records came from various estate clean-outs. About half were rescued from a damp basement, and have issues as a result, but I believe are absolutely worth salvaging. I did give those (covers & sleeves) a once over with a mild alcohol based cleaner to eliminate any visible dirt or mold. I consider it to be within reason, now. But still in need of another round of cleaning and airing out. Mustiness will improve, but may never be completely eliminated. I did not clean any records, and they are dusty. They will need cleaning ! Some have significant scratches, but I weeded out anything horrific. Most are average or better in that regard. A couple are still factory sealed. Some inner sleeves are missing. Covers vary in condition. Some have significant wear or stains, and / or the mustiness. Others are quite nice examples. And of course, everybody smoked back then, so most old estate stuff is smokey. No reserve auction. Packed with care.
