toomanyrecords Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just got a rare record that I am not able to swap for a new one because it's limited and OOP and the spindle hole is too small. I don't want to force it onto the table for fear of getting it stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Tried it. Didn't work. Do I need to force the pen all the way through or just the thin end spinning around in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Spin a knife in it. Should be fine. bathroommonkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuck Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just for future reference, needle nose pliers work really well & you'd have to be pretty inept to fuck it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Spin a knife in it. Should be fine. I use this method all the time. Just stick the tip of a steak knife in, spin it once and you should be good. It's only going to take off a hair at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Fill hole with Vaseline. Insert wiener into hole. Move back and forth. Hole becomes bigger. But I've always just used a knife. Round file would work too if you have one. dnsnlsn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamalatapes Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 what a knife! that's horrible. I use one of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luthier-Tools-Tapered-Reamer-for-Bridge-Pins-Endpins-Pegholes-/131016339659?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item1e812eb0cb It's a luthier guitar reamer designed to make holes in wood. Not wishy washy holes either. Complete circles. I ream the spindle hole one whole spin on each side before popping it back onto the record. Works like a charm. I may post a video to show case it. I should mass produce this tool for vinyl junkies eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just use the nail file that comes attached to nail clippers. Should be about the width you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalatapes Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Ok off my high horse. Here's a photo showing how sharp the tool is and how I use it. You only stick it until where it's snug before giving it a twist. Even then don't jam it in obviously that will force too much of a cut. What you do to Side A you do to Side B until it slides on no problem. At any rate at the end of the day whatever works best for you is what matters.

A couple of bucks cheaper on Amazon, too. kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 You aren't suppose to play ones with a spindle hole that's too small. They are supposed to be hung on your wall and never listened to. It's a feature! jimthehuman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustycage Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Fill hole with Vaseline. Insert wiener into hole. Move back and forth. Hole becomes bigger. This works on other kinds of holes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
