not really, but you can diminish the effects by backcueing [reversing direction of play] the record with the stylus passing over the scratch. do this MULTIPLE times never cueing [going forward] over the scratch. pick up the cartrige and place it behind the scratch to repeat. this only works on smaller scratches, and only if you are lucky. deep gouges are permanant because grooves are VERY small. there is stuff called GruvGlide that may help as well. also for cleanign records you can use lighter luid and a soft non-linting cloth, like a chamois. this came from my Boyfriend who has been a DJ for over 8 years. check him out >> http://waxdj.com/djvincecarter

Sure you can - then you can hang them up as decoration as they will not be playable. Old records played by the needle riding up and down on grooves - totally unlike polishing out scratches on a CD. If the grooves get scratched (broken) they stay that way.

yes. fine grit sandpaper works best. 1000grit. it takes a long time but if you are patient they will be smooth as a babies butt.
