Can anyone recommend a cheapish, decent record clamp ?

So annoying , this blank post thing :wall: God Bless copy and paste.

Got a bit of vinyl on tonight but as these records have not been played since the 80's they are not in the greatest condition. I'm cleaning as I go but can't do anything about the out of shape ones. Nothing unplayable and only mildly out of level so I'm going to add a clamp that should help to keep them flat during play. Not looking for anything outlandish with diamond cut sides, just something to do the job well. TT is a Pro-ject Debut carbon.

Seen these for about the right money, anyone with any experience of these or do you have any gems in the knowledge out there ?

I have been looking at these.

Do they really keep the record flat?

I'm pressuming they do :? The blurb on each and every one seems to say so, apparently clamps are better than weights at doing it. Not buying into the manufactures s**te that they increase mid range, base, et al and make your TT super dooper though.
