Just want a couple of cheap plastic record middles. The type that sit on the deck rather than the speider in record type.

There's some brass one ons ebay but I'm b*ggered if I'm paying £9 for one!

Any ideas?

Sorry if a bit off topic!

Roger Banks sells them in pairs - some kind of aluminium or alloy - something like a fiver each or £7.50 a pair.

The plastic ones I've had in the past are crap - you need something with a bit of weight to them

I must say that I've tried the ally ones, but to me the plastic cone ones are the best money can buy. Give the lads at Beatin Rhythm in Manchester a ring, and they'll even post them to you. The ones they sell are perfect, and I'm a fussy bastard. 0161 834 7783

Don't you find that they lift when you are cuing (sic) in the records?

No problems at all mate, no.

I got a pair from Dundeedavie off here cheap, dunno if he's still got any.

As can be seen in this picture of a record I'm trying to sell on ebay, although I'd have better luck selling the bloody middles!

For Jamaican records I always use a rounded alloy center.

They can be bought from www.soundquake.com and IMO these are the best esp. with 45s whose centerhole is a little too small.

At home I use a plastic one I got with my first turntable (altough I'm not sure that term applies to that kind of machinery ) since it's lighter.

They look brilliant!

Just got one of these in the post this morning. WOW!!! as a veteran record putter-onner

I thought I knew it all, but.... These are the D's B's! I had the 'normal' cone shaped middle, the metal one, and thought that was easy!. Not cheap, but hey, you get what you pay for, and these are the Rolls Royce of middles, and they looks soooo f***ing coool!

Well worth getting 'em Baz, not much impresses me, but that did!

BTW, Postman woke me up at 7:30 this morning with it. Not 'cos I had to sign, but because it was packed in something resembling a 100 count record box!

Thought that I'd heard that quote before, but no it was something completely different -

These are my favourites too!

Espescially when you are a bit drunk it's easy to put the record on. They just slip into place!

I also got my father to make a pair in solid teflon. They are even smoother!

the ones i use are here:
