Does your 12" get stuck on the platter, Mr Dj?

Alright folks, this is a video going out to either Cracks GT or Jungle Techno. And what they've said is that some records, the centre hole is not big enough. Now then, of course the problem there is I will show you if we wang the old... Where are we now? Where's the turntable? There it is. It's alright, I'm holding on to things here as well. Now then, if I now try and put that record on there, if you can see, watch, I've got to push it down. Now then, to get that record off... Watch again. There. You can actually see that I've got to push it up and push it down, which isn't very good because when you're holding on to it, if I wanted to scratch with that now, that really should move freely, but it's not. As soon as I spin it back, it's moving forward straight away, and that is because this spindle in the centre is moving with the platter, OK? Now what happens...

Is the spindle is almost acting like a brake and it's stopping it from moving right now then this is what we do okay you can either get a pen like that or maybe a chopstick now then be careful put the pen in the center like so and just put a bit of pressure in there hope you can see this if i just move it like that so i can see Now then, just a bit of pressure there on one side, turn it the other way around, and a little bit more pressure the other side. In there, and turn it around. As you can see, I'm doing this live, so now we'll put the record on the platter, bingo, straight on. There you go, straight on. And wobbles a little bit, but there you go. Now if you watch, much more movement there, okay?

So that's what you do and don't worry if, move it back, if perchance it's a little bit too wobbly then what you do, tiny bit of paper like that. Now watch, you put the paper through the centre there, fold it over like that and then you whang the record straight on and then you've got a tiny little bit of paper there now in the middle. If you look there, there you go. And that really will just hold it in place. And that's of course if you've made the hole a little bit too big. But put it this way, I'd prefer to have it slightly wobbly because you can put something in there as opposed to not even being able to get the record on and the record sticking on the spindle in the middle. I hope I've been a help. Thank you very much for watching and practice and enjoy. See you soon.
