Try this method.
"If you've got a skip, see if you can identify about where on the record it is, and find it. Many of them are caused by a piece of loose vinyl or dirt that is lodged hard enough that a cleaner won't take it off. If you can spot it, you may be able to remove the partical by hand, carefully. If it works, this can remove the skip, but will often leave a popping sound at the point where the skip used to be."
Try to find the exact spot. Then get an all cotton ribbed "wifebeater" style tshirt and some concentrated record cleaner or Dawn dishwashing liquid. Put a drop on the spot and make a lather lightly with a qtip. Let soak for a minute. Rinse and repeat a couple of times. The last time, rub it firmly with the grooves using the cotton tshirt, rinse and dry. It will either work or it won't. I have good luck with this about half the time.
My problem is more with warped records nowadays. Used to be that records were noisy but flat. Now mine seem to be quiet but warped. I haven't found a good fix for warps. Have you?
