🔧 HHIP 3900 3002 Precision Parallel Pair Review

Much better than expected. Within a thousandth of one end to the other. Very clean and lightly oiled with normal paper foil. Wooden box is also good.

All records arrived clean from rust and dents. This is a relief after reading any of the reviews before buying. Each pair was individually wrapped in oiled protective paper. The only small thing is that the inner parallel holders/spacers are made of a very soft material, which did not hold the parallel during transport.

Received these today and started unboxing and derusting but saw 4 of them had rust on the precision surfaces! And not a little. First cleaned with wd40, then with acetone, without success. There was also rust in the mounting holes, but that's not as important as the edges. I'm currently soaking them in oil in hopes that they can be cleaned enough to be usable, but the rust has built up bad enough to be easily felt with a fingernail so I'm not entirely sure. They were covered with oiled paper…
