The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Hello to all,

I am looking for a Strobe assemble for my VMS-70 (see pic). Also, I am looking for cabinet panels from the stand.

Anyone have anything?

Thank you!

Hello to all, The Neumann manual for the VMS-70 calls for filling the turnable drive with "305º C" oil. May I ask what you folks have been using? I do have some silicon oil that came with the lathe. Would that be ok? Thank you all. Respectful regards, Dave 55632743_2398142056885486_76351158769407754...

Still available?

Thanks
Dave

Thank you both. Reaching out to them.

Still working on the Light Peak Meters and Tyrone 1" Phase Oscilloscope.... but onto the lathe. Helium has become very diffi...

Thank you for the reply AussieOzborn. I guess I've been under the belief that the cheaper helium contained moisture and other impurities that could conceivably contribute to corrosion inside the cutterhead. I'm pleased to hear otherwise as I have plenty of other things to spend money on now with thi...

Hello to all, Has anyone else in the US experienced difficulties in obtaining Medical Grade Helium for cooling a cutterhead on a VMS-70? My gas supplier informs me that there is a new government restriction, and that it now requires a medical license to buy.. if you can even find it in stock. Any al...

Hello to all,

I am working on a SP-272 Mastering console and would like to get the peak to peak meters working. Does anyone know what bulb goes in these Siemen's meters? Anyone out there with any experience servicing them?

Thanks to all.

I actually do

Hi Boogie, Thanks for a ton of info. For starters, I will be running the Neumann computer with the VMS-70. My understanding was at 33 rpm it would be 1.1 seconds. I do see different tape paths for different speeds on these machines. Ofcourse, I can simulate whatever I need from a DAW, but what's tha...

Hello to all,

I am in search of a Studer, Ampex or other 1/4” 2 track machine with the necessary preview head for cutting records. Hit me up if you have, or know of something out there for sale.

Thanks to all
