GIMMICKFAN Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hey guys. A couple years ago, I bought an Everclear promo single on yellow vinyl. I played it the other day and it started skipping! I paid way too much for this to have it skip, so can anyone recommend a way to fix it? I've already tried a basic cleaning, but that hasn't done anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 What do you mean by "basic cleaning?" Have you listened to it before without it skipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Are you referring to the Wonderful single? If so, just buy another one. They're dirt cheap on Discogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIMMICKFAN Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 What do you mean by "basic cleaning?" Have you listened to it before without it skipping? By "basic cleaning' I mean cleaning it with a microfiber pad & record cleaning fluid. I have listened to it before it started skipping, & it did not skip then.

I have listened to it before it started skipping, & it did not skip then. Get someone to give it a good vacuum clean, if that doesn't work, look at it under a bright light in the spot where it skips and see if you can find anything jammed in the groove. If there is something in there, very carefully get it out with a toothpick. If there's nothing in there, it may be something with your turntable. /thread.

Guest Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'd guess small amount of dirt in the groove, worn stylus, or improper cartridge set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
