pressed 7" blanks samples available

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.

hey all,

i got some time in the pressing plant to press black 7" blanks...
(that is PVC)
but I do not have much time to testcut them myself.
All you brave cutting engineers out there: I am willing to send samples
to everybody interested for free if you take shipping (ca. 3.50 within EU
and 7 EUR worldwide)

just drop me a line

stay fresh

Is this just standard black vinyl? Mossboss had been talking about some kind of special formulation that would cut better.

I would be interested getting some samples.

Also, has anyone cut the red blanks I had made? I left on vacation shortly after they arrived and haven't gotten home yet. I made several great sounding recordings with one of The Shanks diamonds, but never had a chance to test the sapphires.
