The public library I work at used to dewarp their records (rather than
throw away a 10record opera set because one was warped, for instance):

You can heat the record in the oven (on very low!) and put it between two
peices of thick glass when it gets saggy, then stack about 10
encyclopedias (okay, "Books of Knowledge"-series technically...) on it and
leave it for 12 hours.  I take no responsibility for what happens tho'!
