[78-L] Small center hole

[David Lennick]

The method Joe mentioned is what I've used for decades. Not using other records 
but using a spare turntable mat (felt on one side, rubber rings on the other) 
and a crap lp in between. The felt is usually sufficient to keep the record in 
place, but if it's warped I also use a record weight. The only time I actually 
place a disc on a platter without raising it is when it's a lacquer and even 
then, those can have been recorded slightly off center.
