In Reply to: RE: Had a rat-tail file around here for a while... posted by ghost of olddude55 on April 21, 2021 at 08:01:20
Everyone always complains that the AR and the Empire spindles are too fat when actually they are the proper size. I remember reading that in a report years ago that they were the only tables on the market with the exact correct spindle size. It is the record that is at fault.
I used a pencil for years with my Empire, you just shove the sharpened end
into the hole until it stops and twist it around. Worked perfectly.
But I would say that out of my 20,000+ records, the number of LP's that I
had to do this to was less than 100.
Follow Ups:
I have probably had just 4 or 5 LPs that I had to force down the spindle. A round file costs $6.50 and the very precise and easy to use reamer cost $11. No problem.
Nearly every new pressing, in fact. I didn't have any problems with Blue Note, but just about every other LP wouldn't fit over the spindle.
Maybe it was 180 gram pressing thickness, but trying to enlarge the hole with a pencil just tore up the pencil and left the record intact.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
