I've noticed that the needle skips much more easily when the hole in the 12" is slightly bigger than the spindle on the Technics 1200mk2's I'm using. Is there an easy way to correct this problem?

There's not really much you can do about it, just be more gentle to those records...
I have the same problem with some of my records to, and all you can do is be really gentle...

From what I hear putting a little bit of tape in the hole will snug it up nicely and keep the record from skipping around so much.
i'd rather have the hole on the record a bit too big than having it too small
ugh i hate those records...when you have to twist and turn them just to get them off the spindle

office supply store sell these little stickey paper rings. Normally they are used to help things stay in ringed binders a bit better. They are also the perfect size to repair a whole in the center of a record. Just sick one or two on each side.

i hate those, is there a way to fix it or just play it untill the whole gets bigger ?
If this happens, i just cue it back and forth for a while without the needle on the wax. After a few minutes, it should start to losen up.

when is too big just put a little sticker in it, that should fix it
