YEK Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 i bought a record and the hole was too tight to fit on my record player so i made it larger with a pair of scissors. my problem is now the record fits a bit loosely, maybe 1 mm too wide, i can tell when i move it back and forth with my hand while it's on since it's loose should i worry about dropping the needle in the middle when playing? it has never skipped before but i worry about my needle.

BobDobalina Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 You can take small slivers of tape and fold them through the oversized hole, usually it only takes 1 or 2 for the record to sit snugly on the spindle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 1 or 2 mm shouldn't make too much of a difference. I have a Can record that has a slightly off-centre hole and I can't notice anything wrong. Then again it is Can—it's hard to tell with some krautrock stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
