I recently acquired a 1949/50 Philco radio with turntable, along with some very old, beat up 78's.
These records are without any kind of sleeves or covers, just the discs themselves that have been sitting on a basement shelf collecting dust and cobwebs over the years. Some of them have had water dripped on them, and some are homemade discs that are starting to flake and peel (you can see the steel disc underneath).
Anyone know the proper way to clean and care for these, and if there is a resource for perhaps buying blank record sleeves to protect/store them? As beat up as they are, some of them were made by my dad and I want to preserve what is left of them.
