Is it possible to use other stylii on a Recordette besides the steel? Mine is still in the shop, so I haven't been able to get that far with it. Also.. what about diamond? Is that crazy talk?

This is Great!! I hope you are marking it up for your trouble. I will PM you an order.

Thanks! yeah, I have been trying that approach. I live in NJ. I found one shop, and they were very expensive for custom cuts in the rage of 50 - 100 pieces.
Still looking!

I was also thinking about using a ball bearing drawer slide. I've been struggling wi...

Thanks Chris!! I have done extensive searches over the past few days before I posted. I can't seem to find any viable info to get me started. There is alot of info out there by veterans like yourself, but I can't find anything for a newbie that wants to help keep the art alive. Most forums would hav...

Hi All, I am new to this forum. I am very interested in digging deep into cutting records. First off, I am hoping to start by getting a Recordio. I am waiting on a friend to see if I can acquire one from his family. I don't see many on ebay and when I do, I lose the auction. Being I don't have much ...
