Hey guys--I need a vinyl-cutter...

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.

some people will say I'm nuts for asking, but I really don't care:
I'm looking for someone to transfer some CD's direct-to-vinyl.
Normally, I would ask for an acetate one-off...but a vinyl copy would be longer-lasting.
Could someone help out (and hopefully not break the bank?)

I can do plastic one off on a Neumann. Extremely high quality. Nearly no background noise. I can send you the email address of a few clients for a reference. They were very pleased with their cuts. 10" or 12". Clear or black. Full color printed labels. http://www.deepgroovesmastering.com

Awesome!
Thanks for responding!
how much would you charge for a standard 12-inch at 33 1/3? (and Stereo..?)

I charge standard dub prices. One side up to 25 minutes = $50. Two sides up to 25 minutes per side = $65.
