45 Centre Adapters

[mysticfred]

I recently found i had issues with the black centre adaptors same shape as illustrated above in yellow, all the ones i have are a larger hole than 1/4 inch and cause wow on my long spindle record player.

The tri-shaped spider cenre adaptors have almost exactly 1/4 inch centre hole and have no wow issus when used, i am in the process of changing the larger ones for these at the present time, but wonder if the American/Aussie style "blob" ones are any better..?

There are countless design variations from all over the world.Here is a basic overview,but there are a lot more than this.Somebody need to compile as many as possible into a book.

Alec you have a wonderful sense of humor.
A piss take of a debunked theory.
Yes a rye sense of humor.

Interesting website! i found the triangular "spider" style adaptors are the best as issued in the 60's and early 70's, the centre hole is slightly smaller than the "spiral" ones, they play without any sideways distortion and once locked in they stay there, and do least damage to the label, avoid those thick metal ones, also some of the spiral ones commomly used have spikes on and can damage the picture sleeves.

I like them as well as they are the most secure fit, but where can you get new tri centre adaptors?.

The "KPL" adapter shown on that web page is the type that used to be in one of my records, although mine was still all there. It was very prone to coming out. Eventually I got a proper turntable one and removed that, and the only other one I had. I only ever had one other record with a large hole, and bought that as is, with no adapter. In the UK, most 45s, when new, had a regular hole - exceptions were normally imports (both US and European). Punch-out centres were not uncommon until the 1980s. Of course, ex-jukebox records would have the large hole.
