Mono Lathe Head who has one?

Hi all,

We have a record label that puts out 50's and 60's unreleased gems. We like to get as close to 50's and 60's original sound as possible. Typically we do true analog the entire way through the pressing process. Right now when we cut the Master it is on a scully lathe with a stereo head. We would like to cut them on a lathe with a true original mono head. You guys know anyone that is mastering and cutting with a vintage mono cutting head? Any suggestions?

I'd contact Mike at lathecuts at yahoo dawt com

He is a great guy and super knowledgeable. Not sure if he has any Prestos in stock but give him a yell.

For a mono Westrex for your Scully, hit up Len and Jacob Horowitz at HistoryofRecordSound.com. They probably have one or two for sale.

I've got a 2b that I've been looking for a reason to mount on my Scully...but I want to put together a separate mono cutting rack for it first.
