Sure bloody. a while ago another one was up for sale on the bay at a much cheaper price, i was really tempted to get it but decided not to in the end due to shipping worries.
If i may ask what was your search term to find that as it did not come up in my daily searches.

Hi @fredbissnette, Is your video still available, I'm interested in your setup too. I second that. Even though i have a non functional HMV 2300H, You fredbissnette have inspired me to do a build of my own after watching your videos. I was actually using your videos as blueprint of sorts for my own ...

If I'm not mistaken i think he maybe referring to an MSS lathe https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?t=7162

This item has been SOLD

When i saw the information about this toy cutter first posted here: https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8570 i was super excited about getting one. After a few days i paid in full during the pre-order stage on amazon and forgot about it as it was a while until the issue was going to be d...

Hello I have a linear stage lifted from an HP printer which may be of some use to any diy lathe builders projects. Complete and fully assembled linear stage from an HP printer which includes: Metal holding tray (holds the guide shaft) Guide Shaft (Carriage runs on the guide shaft) Shaft Carriage wit...

Some guy who messes about with lasers had a try at embossing but with very poor results. Granted he's not very versed in the cutting game but his attempts were entertaining and an eye opener for a noob like me. Looking forward to seeing your work sir.

What you have is a Presto 75a if I'm not mistaken https://agnewanalog.com/blog/presto-75a-restoration-project.html

Earlier this week i was very lucky enough to spot and acquire an His Masters Voice Portable Disc Recorder Model 2300 which was available for sell in the UK. Apparently it was owned by some university who were gonna dump it in the bin before the seller got a hold of it. The sale included the matching...

I'm not a wealthy fellow by any means, but personally i think the $500 price point for a working lathe is pretty reasonable considering most of the lathes i've seen up for sale are if not double or more than the price of the home groove. And these are for non-working lathes, so after paying $1 - $2K...

Wow, I'm surprised by the comments. I know this thing is not supposed to be a professional solution but is it really that bad as a simple home based cutter. You would think vestax should know what their doing right?

A while ago whilst researching online i came across a project for an open source cutter which could be built for around $500 using 3D printed parts and other bits. The cutter called “Home Groove” which comprises of an overhead unit which is supposed to attach to any turntable. This could be quite us...

Found this on daily searches, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vestax-VRX-2000-Vinyl-Recorder-Record-Lathe-with-Head-Needles-Records-Lables/173744014827?hash=item2873f345eb:g:LuMAAOSw0~pcPxUI:rk:1:pf:0 It's not mine, but i thought i will post it here for anyone who may be looking for one. Oh and FYI the s...

After some research I'm leaning more towards at getting a micro controlled linear rails set up instead of a whole deck with a linear arm.

Unbelievable, god your a lucky so and so. Wish i knew about these back in the day, would of bought one in an blink of an eye.

Does anyone know, or can recommend, suggest a linear tracking turntable with the following features.

1. Motorized tone arm.
2. manual control of tone arm placement.

Something in the range of around £100 - £300ish
