Spindle hole restoration?

I might take some transparency film and cut a spindle hole in that. Ream out the existing hole in the record and through trial and error tape the film in proper position That is how I fixed a similar problem with an alignment protractor.

Have you considered using a lightweight record clamp and just center the record to the mat?

How valuable is the record? Off the top of my head, a reamer will cost say $25.00 or more. I have neasured the spindle of a Dual, removable spindle at approxinately .279"

If you wanted to put a thin bushing in there, first you need material. Then you need the bushing made. If you have to pay someone to make this bushing, it might cost more than the price of the reamer.

So, back to square one. Aside from the desire, what's the problem.
