Okay, here is a good one. I bought a Standard disc record, but obviously have no way to play it, since I do not have a Standard talking machine. Basicly, I bought it because of the label. I was courious, could this record be played on my Victrola? Or is this just a pipe dream?

Paul,
"Standard" records are lateral and may be played on your Victrola. However, you will need an adapter for the large spindle hole. I got mine from Darrell Lehman. If you're interested in buying one, I can find out if he still has them.

I just manually center the disk on the turntable of my victrola. Works just fine.

Re: Can a Standard Disc Record, be played, on my Victrola?
If you really like to play them alot, one of the phono supply places used to sell a steel spindle cover that fit over the spindle so you could play standards. I almost never play the few that I have. I also have not standard machine. I do however have that cover and would sell to you for $10 or so if I knew where to find it.... no chance of that any time soon though.

Well, this is the frist one I ever bought, so, I'll have to see how I like it. Someone else suggested I use a nut or a washer, to play the record.

Found a nut, and was able to play the record. Not too bad.
