Hi quite a few of my records centre holes have warn away and got bigger . What does everybody else do to solve the problem . How can you solve the problem when you cue back the vinyl moves because the hole has worn to big for the spindle so then it jumps when you cue it up . Cheers

There is a very good bit on Qberts dvd tutorial about this (just had a look on youtube and unfortunately it doesn't appear to be there).
Basically you need a small strip (say 5mm x 30mm) of a low friction paper (Qbert uses the waxy backing paper you get with tape stickers). You then place that through the hole (lengthways), and then tightly tape it down on either side of the label.
Hey presto - a smaller hole
i had the same problem as you chris so used the sticky rings which jig describes and they do work, i use 13mm and you may need two depending on how big your holes arei've heard other use the white sticky rings for strengthening the punched paper holes in clip folders
wilko's and staples sell'em there easy to get and about 100+ in a pack for around 50p.

I designed something for this same problem, but the set-up cost was gonna be too great, if someone is in the plastics manufacturing business and could do something, would be a good idea if it came off like
what about if its too tight?? no jokes shooms

Small blade on a swiss army knife. Stick it in the hole and just scratch it around and scrape away a bit of the plastic. Result.

Wiggle it backwards and forwards as you put it on the turntable and take it off, don't pull or push too hard either.
