The reason that some records will not work properly with the adapter is not because the adapter is faulty. It is due to variations in the center hole diameter of the 45 rpm records. The solution is to simply remove the 8 small screws that hold the 2 outer sections of the adapter and just use the center part and it will work fine.

The Crosley Stack Mate 45 Cartridge dropped the records properly. However, the base of the cartridge that the records spin around is too large which created a drag, ie, the records do not spin freely. This caused them to sound distorted. Some would not even spin.
I was very disappointed in this product.
This adapter is lousy. don’t buy it. Certain records, do not drop properly using this adapter, because the adapter is too wide. Records drop halfway down and stick, causing the tone arm to bump against it and land on the turntable, or the record will drop to the turntable, but not turn, because of the width of the adapter, and cause the flip side of the record to be scratched by the turntable. This is not a good product and Crosley should make corrections. I received my first one for a birthday gift and it didn’t work properly, so I bought another one thinking the first one was defective. It is defective from the Manufacturer. Crosley, long in the radio business for years, should know better and should make a better adapter. Dont buy this one
As stated by other customers, the Crosley Stackmate AD01-01 has unfortunately a major flaw! The base of the auto-adapter is made to large to fit the centrum hole of 45 rpm(7 inch)records. It’s strange that the Crosley manufacturers have not noted this. I was about to throw it away, when i thought i’d just give it a try and see if i could somehow fiddle with it to use at least parts of it. I discovered that with a simple adjustement you can make it work well enough to easily load and play 8 7 inch records! Just go to a hardwear store and purchase a very small cheap screwdriver. Bring the adapter to make sure you find the right size that fits the screws.
So, this is how you easily adjust the Stackmate make it work flawless:
Take the small screwdriver and remove the 4 small screws visable on the adapter. You can now remove a small half of this adapter. The surface under the removed piece of plastic is smooth and flat like a BSR auto adapter. Now, simply put the Stackmate on the spindle and load the records as usual and it will work as it’s supposed to! When the plastic part is removed it makes the adapter slimmer but leaves it with enough of its base to make the records stay in place for stacking and playing! It’s worth the effort, because i have tried (on recommendation) to use the Omnidaptor,(made to fit most record changers, but is to high to be able to close the lid on crosleys Stack-o-matics.) I also tried the flat type BSR adaptor. It works, but not as easy as the adjusted Stackmate!
