The one I have is a gently tapered tool that doesn't abrade the record. When the record hole is a bit too small to fit comfortably over the spindle, it's usually just from the paper being a little off-center, or from a small ridge left in the vinyl from the stamping equipment. GENTLE poking with the tool is all that's usually required. You want to push the irregularity aside without throwing the hole off-center, so don't use drills or files, etc. ...Of course, compact discs don't present such problems. -- Bob Fishell ihnp4!ihu1g!fish
