In the history of turntables and LPs there were apparently two different standards for the diameter of the spindle (not "the pole"). Evidently your Thorens uses the larger of the two possible spindle diameters. As Jazzcourier said, gently expand the hole in the LP with a pencil or any tapered object that works.
the hole is to small......
Before the wise cracks come.....
I just picked up a Thorens 145 MKII and put on my favorite album Wilco YHF. But the holes are to small for the pole. I could play this on my Pioneer, it fit nice on the pole. But with the Thorens the pole is to big....get me?
Has anyone else had this?
I am checking othe LP's as well for this issue.
Should I just try and make the hole bigger on the LP?
Sand down the pole on the Thorens?
Help.
