Help identify record lathe

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'm sorry but i don't have idea about second lathe
tha standon turntable is not a good choice
i was owner of st-150 4.5 kg/cm and really sucks
I had many problems with the wobble platter
finaly i return it back to the store and tomorrow i will give a try to Reloop RP-7000

Much better to use a dc motor for pitch. Stepper motors will cause modulation in your grooves. Literally, you'll hear the steps as background noise in unmodulated grooves (grooves cut with no audio).
