Re: Masterpiece & colored discs project back on track.

I understand what you are saying, good point but I can think of one thing I did that might have caused that failure but I can't confirm it yet. I tried shipping some to Australia for testing but the package never left Jamaica I got it back & went to TUFF GONG but they are under reconstruction now so...

Re: Masterpiece & colored discs project back on track.

Good & bad news. I did further modifications for all size discs. 10" & lower now have 4 point support and absolute no issues with those sizes. 12 & 14" discs now have 8 point support & things have significantly improved. Discs are now coming out quite a bit better than the industry 50% failure rate....

Re: Masterpiece & colored discs project back on track.

14" discs still torturing me. I had to do further minor modifications to the set up & the 12" discs are now being efficiently made. 14" still leaking on the posts but not as much only 1 in the last manual run of 12 discs. The first side of them come out perfect but the second side is most times neve...

Re: Masterpiece & colored discs project back on track.

Okay I got all the stuff & the initial run after the upgrade was a MAJOR DISASTER. The racks leaked lacquer all over & I was very disappointed.

Re: Lacquer disc news from Austrovinyl and AUDIOLAC

You are right about the stress & health issues I had 11 tumors in me & prostate issues at 1 point from over exposure to VOC's. I had to buy a lot of equipment to monitor everything around me. It turned out that at home even the soap I bathed with & the laundry detergent was emitting VOCs. So even wh...

Re: Lacquer Discs now ready for shipping.

No, I have not started to ship masters for production only for electroplating tests in UK USA & Australia. Since some processes are a little different its good to get feedback from a wide area in the industry. Back in the 90s I did not make masters only dub plates. I cant think of any reason from my...

Out of the tunnel.

It took quite a while but it all worked out. I had to stop production after I got some old lacquer discs from the late 30s to late 50s. nbc discs.jpg I was shocked when I finally got my hands on them. They were properly stored looked very good & some of them sounded very good after so much time to m...

Re: Light at the end of the tunnel

BAD NEWS,,,,,,,,Yesterday was a disaster,,, most of the 10" discs are damaged because I had them stacked horizontally & the weight was too much. Most have ugly impressions from the red silicone rubber as soft as it is. The lacquer even came off on the rubber when it was removed. The 7" are not bad b...
