Dave West Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Got a couple of 45's that jump once midway through the track, both play well apart from the jump.look VG but play EX. no major scratches. Can these be fixed ? cleaned a million times so its not a dirt issue Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-R Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I usually treat jumps on an old mono record player I have. My trick is to hold down the cartridge over the area where it jumps whilst playing, stopping it doing so, and repeating this process a few times. Unless it's a really nasty, deep scratch (or an original copy of Gwen Owens ), it always works. Can also be done with records that stick.

Haha Take care with styrene records - too much pressure on the stylus may cause a permanent hiss. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes as the stick is caused by a nick of vinyl blocking the groove, doing the above should cut it out. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-R Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Yes as the stick is caused by a nick of vinyl blocking the groove..... Or a scratch going in the opposite direction of one that causes a jump. As a rough guide, a scratch in this direction (/) will cause the record to jump, whereas one in this direction () is likely to make it stick.

Dave West Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Its the first one causing it to jump. So can it be recut with a heavy needle Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-R Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Its the first one causing it to jump. So can it be recut with a heavy needle Dave Yes. That's what my idea effectively does - creates a continuation onto the groove. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

boba Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I will fix a skip under a scope for $20 if you want me to. No chance of styrene burn, it's a deterministic process, and can fix even almost-impossible-to-fix parallel to the groove scratches and gouges. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
