Hi Niklas,

Beautiful quiet , solid , fast machine.Well done.20 sec cycle is excellent.

Please could you send me prices, and approximate shipping dates.

Regards,

Aidan Foley.

Great stuff Chris.
Looks like you need 30 yrs of experience to get those beauties back in business..

fantastic..

there is 'some' distortion of the signal...mmmm I haven't seen a professional diagnosis so vague before.Pity, I do need a spare one at the moment...

Received my copy yesterday,an absolutely brilliant reference tomb.Would have liked to see more on 1/2 speed cutting, but have learned lots of little gems already in the first 100 pages..Thanks Mr Boden..

I have a spare suspension.I used to have 2 spare, but sold one a few years ago on eBay for about $1100.

The problem with non medical grade He is that it contains water which will rust the head over time.Check with your supplier to the He % of their non medical grade.My BOC supplier guarantees 99% He for the non medical, which is perfect for me at a 1/4 of the price.

Hi, Shouldn't the detune amount be .575? (45 rpm /78.26 rpm). Also, if this is to be for a real acoustic phono playback, then I believe you will cut with no EQ if the head is flat vs. velocity. I'd cut the program material lows below 100hz-200 Hz. and the highs above 5-6 Khz. As far as groove geome...

Ps, I dont use the EQ in my amps , I use preset shapes on a GML x 2 for cutting. Flo& Ivo both bypassed/brigged the EQ in my amps.. although I would love better clearer power!!! It wont be long , building as we speek

Hi Opcode, A ZA 33 is the Neumann voltage change box used to halve the voltage (380v) to supply the Lyrec at the 3 x 1/2 speed...(huge caps!!) On a VMS special. I did alter speed of source (original post -.59672) "You would likely have to adjust your EQ to compensate for the RIAA EQ built into the a...

Also, my Lyrec SM/8 does 78/ and lathe... But I used my ZA 33 to switch to 16.2/3 +22 1/2 for half speed cutting...wich most clients prefer ...dohhh double time for me...

Hi Trolls..first real post after lurking for 5 yrs.. I have an 'Art' project job for a one off 10" 78 to be played on a standard 'Gramaphone' pic attached.I have not cut it yet, but needed some support... 1.I hope to use the one apollo (non acetate) dub I have , given to me by my distributor as a pr...
