The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Make an offer. In nice shape!

20180102_120212.jpg Well...I'm just not going to get around to messing with this. I have 2 prestos...an 8n and a 6n (6n might go too) and i got this to work with as another cutter. Doing some moving and gotta let go of a few things. This unit works and is in decent shape except for a little veneer ...

Fantastic! Thanks!

Thanks for the info! When i get the lathe running I'll give it a listen..it's an rca 70c with11852 "recording attachment"...like the screen shot here.

It appears to be non feedback or modified or i can't see where the leftmost terminals go in the mechanism. The tabs are broken off on the back removeable plug. I get 5.6 ohm on the rightmost terminals...no reading on the left.

Thanks much! I'm likely going to sell this one...it came with an rca unit i bought and i have 2 other rca heads...one just rebuilt so i don't really need it. I assume this is a feedback unit which i don't have any experience with or an amp for.

Hey...anyone have info or docs on a Grampian c/h cutterhead? Thanks...

The machines are in decent shape...just need some cleaning. Honestly, they are still sitting where I brought them to my studio. I'm waiting for the holiday thing to be over so I can get to work. There is a 45 adapter included.

thanks for the replies! I'm going slow, step by step. planning to read, read, read. i hope the stereo head materializes...that would be cool! ironically, at the same time i bought the lathes, i upgraded digital interfaces, got a mac, and protools 12. i don't really care..my engineers wanted it. I'm ...

Hello. I was lucky enough to get a decent deal on a Presto 8n and a 6N, both in cabs, the 8n with a scope. I have several extra mono heads, spindles, parts, etc. I have a general working theory of how to cut, and just bought the Basic Disc Mastering book. I have an analog studio (and digital) and ha...

It looks worse than it is. It is mostly shingle dust from sitting in an attic. The platter spins without a sound. There is another just like like it, sans motor and head, and with slightly longer legs. Any idea as to the model or era?

Can anyone identify the make and model of this lathe? I found it at an estate, and have another with no motor or cutter. Any tips would be appreciated.
