The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

I'm not sure, but this looks like it is the advanced ball, It seems to appear when there is some heavy vertical amplitude( a lot of bass out of phase, use EE filter) and the advanced ball stops the cutterhead from moving to far this direction and then dig into the lacquer, I had some signs of this e...

Hi Mavis,

I.ve always been using midi to make "Band" and "Lead out" I use the tone B for Band and E for end, made the box myself for this with relay's that I soldered directly to the push buttons on the Scully LS-76 Lathe :

I'm working on a Scully LS-76 and the preview time on it is 1,8 seconds for 33.3 rpm and 1.3 seconds for 45 rpm, I use Nuendo/Cubase and make one file/track for the program and take a copy of that and make a new track as preview, I then just move the program file with 1.3 or 1.8 seconds so that it s...

Here's some photos of my MCI JH 110 M, with preview head. Notice there is no record button. It would probably not be so easy to ask Beatles to go back in studio and start all the recording all over again, because the cutter person accidentally pressed record over the master tape (Though, I believe t...

What is twinning?
- When two grooves overlap or touch as a result of overmodulation. Twinning is also caused by improper groove-to-land ratios or defective lead screw.

This Protape company in London sells professional shipping boxes for 14" lacquer. I just bought 4 boxes for £2.29 (ca $3.90) each, and I am very happy with them. These boxes also have a screw holder to keep the records in place while shipping.

I went down to visit him for three weeks in Melbourne, Florida, USA, when I bought the system. What a genius ! He has made a lot of modifications on the lathe, he also made ...
