Chipped/Oversized Spindle Hole?

[mrvic2]

I found some records at an antique store recently and unfortunately after coming home I found out some of them have some chipping where the Spindle Hole is, making it so they don't fit. What should I do? I had the idea of maybe putting something that could fill the excess gap, like some epoxy or something, but I figured i should ask you guys what you think before i get carried away.

In the picture below, i pulled away some of the label that was ripped so you can see some of the damage. One of the reasons I'm tempted to fill the hole with something is so that this chipping doesn't continue, as it looks like there are more pieces that could fall apart, and that could lead to more and more falling out if this goes untreated.

That's not so uncommon. I believe most everyone just uses them as-is. Nudge the record towards the unworn side of the hole so it runs true on the turntable. There's virtually no chance that any further chipping will happen as along as you don't abuse it... which some past user obviously did.

Some early records had a brass insert to reinforce the spindle hole. Just a thought......

This looks like damage from a drop changer.That's my guess.edisonplayer
