Record dinker available in us?

[dr galaga]

Anyone know if there are any Record Dinkers available here in the US?  All that I can find is a UK source (not that it is bad).
Ebay Record Dinker

For those of you who don't know, a record dinker makes a "45" hole in a record.  I just bought a record (from the UK) and it has the small hole and I want to put it in my jukebox (plus I do have a few more 45's like this).  I guess North America adopted a large hole for 45's and Europe adopted the small hole.
Here's a pic:

What sort of UK 45 have you got??? If its the all plastic type of the 70's & 80's you'll need to be very careful if you use the above dinker. I have lost quite a few. Put a couple of not so precious 45's either side to strengthen it.

I have lots of UK 45'S from the 50's & 60's where its possible to push the middle out.  

If you can wait until I get back from my holiday I'll have a look round for the type of dinker that comes in two parts and twists together to create a better cut. In fact I have one just like the one above that if you send me your address you can have. Again, I don't think Ill get it to the post office before I go. Not too sure if customs would be happy with me bringing it on the plane.

Okay Dave, actually I'll trade you.  I have a couple embossed 6 oz Coke bottles I'll give you for it!
It's a brand new 45.  Hardly any new songs are released here in the US on vinyl any more.  '>

A Whitney punch can be purchased in many diameters. It has a punch on one side that pulls into its socket on the other side as you tighten the bolt going through them.

Doctor

have packaged up your dinker and will post it from the airport in the morning.

Don't worry about the bottles. The postage charges are huge.

Well thank you Dave!

[davethebirdman]

Welll I got to the airport with your package. The post box there would not accept it. I tried to get it through customs and almost ended up getting arrested for my troubles. Try explaining to a man with no common sense that the item was for cutting holes in items he has probably never seen.

So the bottom line was I had to dump it in the departure lounge. Sorry mate so near but so far.

If you can wait a few weeks there is a jukebox fair near me and I'll get you one then.

Cheers

Thanks for your trouble Dave.  I'm glad we didn't end up seeing your picture on TV - actually that would have been kind of cool.  The headline in the newspapers, "Man stopped at airport with a record dinker."  You could have added that word to everyones vocabulary!  Oh well.

I'll go ahead and get the one I was looking at earlier.  

Stay out of trouble the rest of your trip.

I would be careful about using a "Whitney punch," it works by applying pressure and fracturing, might cause the record to crack.  The "record dinker," works by scribing or cutting through the record.
