The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

As far as I know for stereo you will need a dashpot, so this machine will need modifications. Add a few more thousands for mods + stereo head and the price reaches 2nd hand VR. Additionally, I'm not sure if you can even make lead in and load out grooves on this machine.

Hope this helps,
Bob

maybe try numark ttx, has lots of torque and older version is cheaper

it's not a scam, he is real person with huge contribution to the records industry

Great job by Jesus! Here is the result :) - variable pitch - 33/45 direct drive motor - electronic head lift/drop - stylus heating - possibility to install probably any head, just needs an adapter - oil dashpot - additional button to increase LPI on-the-fly for the louder parts if needed - kind of b...

the lathe is now sold, thanks everyone for your interest!

unfortunately shipping the machine overseas is very very very expensive because of the size/weight of the whole think and probably my location it will be sold only in europe. i had quotes for shipping price from 7-800 euros uninsured to 5000 euros for shipping to usa, which is insane! thanks everyon...

i think it will be best if you post actual photo taken from the top of the machine

the black knob that tightens the head to the suspension. if you watch carefully when you put the head and turn the knob the head turns a bit to the right, probably because of the spinning nut inside the hole.

best,

I don't want to sounds rude but to me it looks like you may have no idea what you are asking about. I would suggest to read this topic multiple times until you completely understand and realise what's written there https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=8328 Going to random engineering com...

with my printer i never had the luck to match perfectly the digital file with the paper so i got some very cheap plotter and make my own, now its all perfect

Looks great! Why don't you move it to classifieds section?

since each machine is tested by souri and its owner before order i think it is ok what he suggest (parallel). i dont think setting a specific angel is possible without having some specialised equipment. i've tried to measure a few times with some simple stuff i have at home but i didnt believe in my...

Welcome! My advice is don't do it as non-profit thingy! Of course, you don't have to charge yourself or your band for band for the records but other clients must be unless you don't value your time. I don't know how long 12" records your Presto can cut but let's say its 15 mins per side, so you have...

I have it, send me a PM

Forgot to write I'm open for offers, too.

Hello! Due to lack of space I have to let my machine go. I have a regular 9 to 5 job and I've been cutting mostly 1-2-3 records per week with it, from time to time bigger orders. The machine is in great condition. I prefer the machine to go to someone who doesn't already have one. I will help the ne...
