shamrocks Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I mean WTF Marantz TT-15 - is the spindle just too big? or is the modern day record simply so thick that theres no give at the center hole. Ive had several that wont go on the platter without pressure and at least one that i had to break to get off (!). Am I missing something here?

Out Of Time Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 If it won't go on the spindle, grab an Xacto knife. Put it in the hole, give the Xacto knife a few turns and you should be good. Rinse/repeat as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrocks Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 PSA dont get fooled that if it goes on the spindle it will come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mameeshkamowskwoz Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Just use your fingers around the circumference and thumbs near the center. Wiggle radially as you try to push or pull. Usually works for me. Still a pain, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it in the hole, give the Xacto knife a few turns I'd say try this before just jamming it onto your TT's spindle, it works 99.9% of the time. I've cracked a stuck record while trying to pull it off the spindle so be careful on that end as well. Good luck!

necroking Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I use a round tapered file. Works perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
