The spindle on my LP12 is 7 mm. Nearly all records drop on without force other than gravity.
But the spindle on my Clearaudio Master Reference is 7.3 mm. While most records drop on with just gravity, a few hang due to slight interference. Clearaudio sells a tool to enlarge the hole to 7.3 mm for $50 in the US.
Or, you can make your own.
1. Buy a 7.3 mm bit (Amazon resellers offer them for less than $7).
2. Buy a wooden file handle. Another couple of bucks from Amazon. I had some extras in my tool box, so I did not have to buy one.
3. Use the bit with your electric drill to drill out the handle.
4. Press the bit into the handle.
Voila!
Works great!
