So i got these dope new bullet 45 spindles made out of stainless steel:From Luger Sound in germany:http://www.lugersound.com/And they seem to be too small for most of my 45s causing slipping and skips, majorly bumming me out because these are the nicest spindles i have ever seen, amazing quality.So my question is are there different standards for 45 holes between different countries?And this even happens to brand new 45s so it is not the Techniques adapters stretching out the holes ause:Can anyone school me??Thanks a million.

    I assume the holes are standardized, it depends on how well they are maintained at the plant since one can assume that enough wear and tear will cause them to adjust in size.

    Either that, or this company is making them wrong.

    Push come to shove, put your thumb and index finger in the hole as the 45 is spinning on the turntable and go from there. Lo-fi solution.

    Shouldn't this question be asked in the Roxy Jezel thread?!

    Those are probably the same ones I got from soundquake.com (also in Germany) about 7 years ago. For me, they're perfect, but that's because 99% of the 45s I play are pressed in Jamaica, where the center hole standard is...well, there does not appear to be a Jamaican standard for center holes.

    But some DJs do complain that they are too narrow.

    BTW, is that a Dennis Brown 7-inch in the pic?

    I doubt it. No West Indian community here. Man, that sounds good!

    ^^^ clearly has never peeped the bongo drummers at aquatic park. why, there must be at least 4 W Indians in SF, and that's a conservative estimate. get familiar.
