iibobii Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hello, I'm working on putting together a website devoted entirely to 45 record adapters. I'm currently in the process of photographing and posting many different types and style of adapters. (Not completed yet, but working on it). The site is 45recordadapters.com. I've come across a photo of a specific type of 45 that I've only seen twice. It appears to be a removable (and re-insertable) adapter. Here's a picture of one. I've only seen this on this UK Gramophone record and a Parlophone record (Bill Doggett). I'm not looking for any specific artist or label, but if anyone has one of these available for sale, please let me know. I would love to own one of these for the collection and the site. Thanks! Bob ...I should also mention that I'm ALWAYS looking for unusual or unique adapters. If anyone has any available for sale or trade, please let me know.

captainreiss Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I have seen these too, my grandma used to have 7"s like this but if I recall correctly they were with the record and not a separate adapter. Cannot check, my gran died almost 20 years ago... You may want to check ebay for HMV 7"s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainreiss Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 There is actually a website that lists which pressings and cat numbers have this type of jigsaw center: http://45-sleeves.com/UK/hmv/hmv-uk.htm Which seems to narrow it down somewhat...

StrangeTerrain Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 i dont wanna be rude with this but what made you want to take pictures of 45 adapters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iibobii Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi Jeremy. That would be AWESOME! Thanks, let me know if you track one down. Captainreiss, that's a great resource. So it looks like these were called Jigsaw centers and used for a very short time by EMI. That really helps me out. Thanks for sharing! Nancy_raygun: Hairy = REAL BAD LOL StrangeTerrain: Hmm. How do you really expect me to answer that? Sorry, I find them interesting. There are so many different styles from basically all over the world and I'm trying to collect as many as I can. I really don't expect that everyone is going to have interest in them, but I do, so..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
