Do it. And post pictures

Looks like this dude made some enemies in the nazi scene and he's either in a world of pain or in witness protection.

Adjust your genre. Perhaps you live in a town where people play old timey music. This is a predecessor to the k series. These make the best 78s. When you are used to cutting at 33, 78 can scare you bc it's so very much faster.

JUST SO YOU KNOW. The metric system is a conspiracy by the illuminati to make arithmetic seem managable/palatable//NECESSARY for every world citizen/slave; whereas in the complex unpredictable world we live in is NOT prone to just divide things by 10 for everybody to enjoy. Mathematics, in reality s...

Cut your sides first in case you mess up a cut and don't want to scrap the whole finished product

It's really old. Where did it come from?

Obviously it chose you and you have the previous owner available for advice. Pick it up unless you want to kick yourself for not picking it up.

You don't really need one. On the other linked topic up there^^^ us described the pros and cons of the advance ball. Just forget about it unless you are restoring it for a museum or something? But hey what do I know. On my k8 which is basically the same, the advance ball was just a pointless nub on ...

Does it have the 45 adapter?

K8 is THE beginner machine. It's awesome too. And cool. You get tons of chicks with it. Spend 100x as much on a scully and you will get less chicks than with a k8

Mark. That is very true, what you say about long v. Short shank. I always get louder cuts with the long shank

I love the way those cutting heads sound. What ohmage is it?

These things do make awesome guitar amps. Be careful it's so old those old caps get crappy after a long time and sometimes the transformer will just fry too. All easily serviceable. Also sounds good on a cut disc. It would probably be worth more to someone here though

CALL LEN IN CULVER CITY

If you're into it at this age don't ever stop. When I was your age I made my own using a speaker and a sewing needle. The late great Les Paul made his first lathe out of garbage at age 13. Learn the science before you make an investment but if souri will train you GO FOR IT. from what I hear he's pr...
