The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

I have it sometimes in left channel only. Minimizing with recalibration after recalibration.

I use a Project vacuum machine. Have not experienced any change in quality.

Picolino Rietschle VTE 8 vacuum pump for sale.

I got it used of ebay but never really got to use it as I found it too noisey and I did not have the energy to get the maintanence kit. But if you have, you will get a very powerfull suction.

It is 230v and located in Denmark.

I am regularly also asking for both the feedback cutterhead and the automatic groove distance controller, but same reply. Not enough demand. But let's keep pushing for it.

Interesting. I am looking into testing something similar. I would try with a hardware equaliser to be able to monitor the output from the computer. Or find one of those special boxes you talk about.

No one?

Sold or not?

Solution found:

A new bearing and a new platter seemed to do the job. My RPM app on the phone measures 0.11% wow and flutter, and it is not really noticable when the music is playing.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Thanks. This was one of the guides I was following. And while it did help a bit, it did not completely eliminate the speed variations. A new platter is on the way in the mail for me.

I'd follow SueDenim if I was you, When I received my brand new motor, all the pins were all unsoldered inside the box ... maybe shipping... maybe a bad soldering job... I don't know. I also changed the spindle and for me it worked... It was making it flutter a little even with the motor Thanks. I h...

Thanks. I will be looking for a new bearing then to see if that helps.

I am using a Tascam M-520 mixer. It works very well. Very flexible and sounds good.

So here is a video of what happens. The variation in speed is both visible and audible. The sound is from the monitor.

Both the external motor and the 1210 motor is running here - adjusted just like the manual.

One thing I forgot to mention before is to make sure that you've fully cleaned all the preset pots and switches on the external motor control box. Really work in some de-oxit or other switch cleaner as I've definitely experienced speed fluctuations from the motor if there's any oxidisation in the p...

Hey There, I don't know about all the technicality but for sure, how Souri showed me to do it is : 1. Power on the SL but don't start spinning 2. Start your external motor and adjust for it to be a little ahead on your strobe, just a little bit faster (or forward if you prefer) 3. Start the SL and ...

Hi, Is it possible that the external motor is running open loop and not controlled by a any tach/speed feedback? If that's the case, it might work to have both motors running. Mark I think it is not controlled by any feedback. This is also based on the included instructions, where the 1210 controls...

Yes I mean running... external just give torq. The quartz lock of the technics will do the job. You have to synchronize the both, easy, 2 minutes it’s done. So my point is, what if the quartz of the technics is faulty? I have adjusted and then experienced that the external motor is running too slow...

Are you saying two different things? 1210 motor (brake) running or not. They will be fighting eachother, but it makes sense that the external motor gives speed, and the 1210 holds back more or less to keep the torque. But what if the brake malfunctions?

Don't use the 1210 motor at all . Just the external motor via the belt drive. That sounds like a good option, although not as powerfull as having two motors running - or really motor and a brake. Is it powerfull enough to run on its own? Sometimes I wish the t-560 would have fitted a broadcast stan...

Adjust with the 2 little screw first, then with the one in the middle for the precision and it’s done Yes, these are the instructions I am following. But the problem is that is behaves very strange when doing so. I adjust for slightly too fast and then start the 1210. It goes even faster, so I use ...
