its for old juke box records.
all jukeboxes had large holes so the adapter was so people could use them.
(mind you i think jukeboxes only used 45rpm records anyway) |

| yeah, its doubtful if you will ever use that 45 adapter unless you go and raid your parents old records. ive come across 1 or 2 7" dance records, but never bought any. very very rare, and ive never seen anything good ever put out on 7" |

I had a 45 with a normal size hole :conf: :conf:
I don't think that records requiring that adaptor are extensively in use anymore . . . |

When I saw DJ cool Herc he was using loads of old 70's funk 7" and he was using this all the time.

lots of reggae/dub djs use 7"s still
Smack the 45 adapter on a normal 7" single (without the cutout) to add a bit of weight and stop them slipping excessively on the mat.... |
