Had a similar issue with my scratched vinyl. Found some helpful resources while researching this: Casino Sportaza. Hope it helps others dealing with the same problem!

I’ve been on the hunt for GSP for a while now

@iamachildagain appreciate the ideas !! this is my first record player so I definitely plan to upgrade over time

I just received mine today, international shipping (to S.E.A) took a while but it was definitely worth the wait! Only thing I was slightly disappointed was to see that the only "Inflatable Air Packaging Buffer Bag"(idk what else to call it or what its actual name is) was on the top half along with the clothes while the vinyl was at the bottom which means 0 support from the bottom of the vinyl itself. Thankfully everything arrived safely and in one piece minus a few dings on the vinyl's outer jacket.
