The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Hey Chris from A'dam!

I'd really need those shipping company details. Thanx!

Hey Simon!
Good to see you're back!
In the meantime nothing changed too much... the prices? quite the same ... You can buy the vms70 on eBay for $99.999

Let us know for your dusty project also! Flo is making "budget" stereo cutterhead - zero series in production right now... ouyeaaaa

I see the price is $99.999 ... isn't this the price for vms80? and even this is quite a lot... maybe the correct number would be $9.999...
... but how would I know. this is just a dream for me. at least I have unfunctional (for now) presto

pheww!
checked the other auctions from this seller and it looks the comma is misplaced a little bit to the right
but the vms70 looks very nice though

phewwww!!!! I saw the studio pictures... looks like a dream studio!

"The lathe" is referred to many tools where there is the processed object which is turning. The most common lathe is used for making cylindrical shapes, there are also CNC lathes ... and there is a minority which are discussed here - lathes for making records. You probably know all this... The item ...

@dubcutter89: no, still I have the problems. I've read the manual and actually the settings are very simple. I've done everything I could (knew)... but still doesn't work. I've contacted Siemens and now they are processing my request... I'm expecting the answer soon :) I actually know it works for c...

You can get Siemens Micromaster or similar "inverter" which can transform any voltage/frequency to any voltage/freq.
I use it to run my Presto which has totally american driven motor.

I also found out that output voltage is not correct:
# switch on 33rpm position - no output voltage on connections U,V,W
# switch on 45rpm position - 19V between U and V, 38V between V and W, 0V between U and W

... just if someone gets a clue ...

I still have problems with Micromaster 420... I don't who to ask so I'm writing here as maybe someone knows. I found out the microcontroller didn't reset as I first thought ... there are still settings of the frequencies for each platter speed. The problem is nothing works now: when the switch is on...

Who did you get yours from? If anyone has just a head for sale, I would be interested in buying it. As long as its not inline with this eBay guys prices for the presto and grampian head! I got mine from the guy who was selling scully system on ebay recently ... rhythmshack is his nick I think. I wr...

I got mine Grampian type D for $350 ... I guess the normal price would be around $500 but you have to find someone who would sell it

yes I've seen all youtube videos and I've read that and some others books... I'm trying to make tone generator (audio) at first then maybe something little more complex... the 12AX7 was the first thought but then I found ECC86 (6GM8) which has low plate voltage - max 30V which is quite convenient. T...

Hi!
Could someone please point me to the ultimate forum dedicated to valves and circuits with them? Something like LatheTrolls to cutting...
I'm trying to make an triode astable circuit and I have to know some characteristics ... If anyone here has sufficient knowledge... also good!

Thanx!

YAY! It has begun!
I don't have the facebook account and I don't want it either.

Would you all (all users) be so kind and not discontinue posting on this forum as some of us don't use facebook?
Thank you very much in advance!

HAHAHAHAHA !!!!! Geat!

Most welcome!

Of course they are alive!

They are pretty busy so they might not answer all the mails they get. Don't give up man!

awesome work dr.dub!
I know Dot (Slovenia isn't such a big place afterall) well and she's full of ideas like this... remember: BEWARE!

emidisc... of course!
but I think re-inventig the lacquer formula just isn't the same as re-sharpening steel styli

WOW, this looks friggin awesome!
Congratulations!

Could you make video clip to see this beauty in action?
