Love vinyl! The accuracy of it all! Excentric holes, undersize holes, oversize holes, off center labels with part of it covering the hole. That's just the problems with the hole. It is, in fact, remarkable, that some vinyl sounds as good as it does. Now that's a hobby when you have to ream something to get it to work. Model railroading provides for many reaming opportunities. A great hobby also.
The ''hole'' problem
On many Lp's from the 80's I have notices that the hole in the center of the LP is very ragged and frequently undersized. I have just had a wretched time getting one of these off my turntable.
Any tricks to clean these up. I am assuming that concentricity is important, or I would just use a reamer, but a reamer is probably the best answer. A nice tool that would fit on the record vaccuum would sure be convenient.
