The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Many thanks for that. I now have a better idea of what we have in hand. I will explore the contacts and let you know.

Gentlemen, I was wondering if a member would be interested in helping me out by transferring a pretty old one-off disc. I would happily pay for the service. I am based in Glasgow, UK. The disc is slightly larger than a CD and made of aluminium carrier with (what I would imagine) wax recording medium...

This item is now sold.

Theoretically yes. But the transaction has not been made yet.

All cool from this side too. I shook hands with the party second in line with the lower offer. The further servicing requirement was taken into account and reflected onto the price.

Whatever price that it goes at sets the precedence and becomes the going rate. With all due respect I am so...

Yes. And drive coils should measure 4.7 ohm dc resistance... Strangely enough on the moving coil meter that is exactly what the DCR was. However, on the (cheap) DMM it measured 6 ohm on 2K setting. This is probably because of the resolution but as I was told it would be around 6 ohm I took this val...

This may come across a bit strange as a first post. Therefore I thought it would be appropriate to do a short introduction of myself. I do not do vinyl cutting. Based in Glasgow, UK, I am involved in pro-audio design and manufacture (http://www.totalaudiocontrol.com) and I occasionally do servicing ...
