My Primitive Tech.

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

First I took 2 keyboard speakers and a boxcutter blade.
I taped the boxcutter blade between the 2 speakers the speakers are hooked to my casio keyboard that has a mic in, I used a turntable , and my arm/hand as guide and cut away.
I got some sound cut into the disc!but its pertty quiet.
Ok LOTS of cutting noise ,but after trying diffrent angels and pressues better results.
Then I improved it by using the turntable from the recordio that needs repair and the saphaire cutting needle instead of the boxcutter blade.
Much better results but still somtimes lots of cutting noise on the disc, and its damn hard to imulate a lead screw with your hand!
I will try and build an arm of some kind next.
Anyone else tried somthing like that? how were the results?
