Presto D7 manual?

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.

I assume that a manual and/or schematics aren't to be found, but figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks.

It's a type D7. Like this one (but not this exact one):

I have a manual for the D7 including schematics. Alan Graves bestowed upon me his collection before he passed away.
I can provide a copy for a fee (USA only). Sent me a PM.
