Tom Delonge's UFO Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The whole is just a tad too small, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can adjust it without damaging the vinyl? MatthewTerbeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I wouldn't think this is something that needs to be treated with kid gloves. I'd have a friend hold it on the outer edge and take a drill bit that is smaller than the current hole to it. Work the drill bit around the hole while the drill is turning (essentially using the drill to "grind" a little excess vinyl out of there). But that's probably not the only way and maybe not the best. Just don't damage the grooves and don't bend it out of its flat shape. Go slow and carefully. In full disclosure, I am thinking out loud and have never done this.

blanchardoswald Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I always just take a pencil and go back and forth several times. Works great. vinyl addict and Tom Delonge's UFO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajxd Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 ^^^^^ hahahaha There's a ton of methods. I typically use a scapel, run a 360, see if it fits. If it doesn't, another 360 with the scapel. Rinse and repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecrets0308 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have a peach marbled copy of Thrice Vheissu that had this problem. The holes were just big enough to get the record on but then when I'd go to remove it nearly got it stuck the first time. I used a mechanical pencil since it tightened inside the hole as I pushed it in (pun definitely intended). Once it was too tight to shove in anymore, I pulled it out. Repeat over and over until the hole is big enough. Remember that it's actually not a bad thing for it to be "tight" on your TT, what you DON'T want is to make that hole too big. That'll ruin your record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
