It must be the metric equivalent of something from decades ago. Google suggests 9/32nds of an inch.Bit of a specific diameter 7.3mm.
A light touch from reamer (if necessary from both sides of the disc) would do the trick - but how often is it even necessary?
To be honest, with my Marantz, (Clearaudio), table it happens quite often. All my LPs fitted perfectly on every other table I've owned, only ever had issues with the Marantz spindle, I actually bought a 7.3mm drill for that very purpose but it didn't cost me £45Bit of a specific diameter 7.3mm.

I just take a sharp pointed knife insert it in the hole and turn back and forth till it fits.I mostly find this problem with 180gram records because of their thickness and the small spindle of the rega sub plater.To be honest, with my Marantz, (Clearaudio), table it happens quite often.

Which is odd because I thought the holes were a standard size.Lenco L75, and I assume other similarly aged Lencos, have thick spindles.
Sounds like Clearaudio offering a solution to a problem they create!To be honest, with my Marantz, (Clearaudio), table it happens quite often.

That's about the size of it.Sounds like Clearaudio offering a solution to a problem they create!
Michell make two record clamps one for the general turntables and one for Rega turntables. My one I used to use with my Thorens won't work on my present turntable as it's based on Rega components and the spindle is shorter.Which is odd because I thought the holes were a standard size.
That said some Roksan decks have removable spindles
