Hi there
A completely newbie question:
I have an old 'Studio-Standard' by Fisher 'DC Servo Semi-automatic
Turntable MT-100'
It works completely fine, and I'm able to digitize a lot of old records
into mp3's

The only problem I have is with old Soviet records (6 7/8" diameter)
that have a really small inside 'blank groove' - and basically, the
record arm always goes back and stops playing a bit too early...How do
I force it to play longer so I can actually record to end of record?

Here's a diagram that I made of this for clarification...

Look at the inside your turntable and locate the mechanism that trips
when the arm reaches the centre. If you're lucky it will have an
adjustment. Adjust it. If not, work out a mechanical solution.
Maybe there's a lever that can be bent back a bit. Maybe you just
chop it off and do without the auto-return function altogether.
