Donald Clarke asks: > How about the vinyl records, Steve? Did you find any? Or > deem it not worth the effort of trying to clean them? The LPs were all on lower shelves. The paper/cardboard of the sleeves had stuck to the recorded surface. At the best of times, I've never had much success cleaning vinyl. I let them go. As for my tapes, if you had seen the layer of toxic crap over everything (I was wearing a home-made hazmat suit and a heavy-duty respirator all the time I was in what was left of my house), you, like I, would not have wanted to think about cleaning off the crap. By the way, when I was cleaning my CDs all that time later, I still wore rubber gloves when I was handling them.
