Record digging tips for Owen Sound

Digging in Owen Sound? A few habits pay off:

• Check the turntable section at Sunrise Records. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.
• Check the dead wax. The runout groove holds matrix numbers that identify pressings. Collectors live by these; a quick phone search settles it.
• Don't skip the 45s. The singles boxes get less traffic and hide great finds. B-sides are the deep cuts of record shopping.
• Bring cash for the small shops. Some independents prefer it, and a cash offer on a stack can occasionally move the price.
