You cam have brand new lead screws made, BTW, for anyone that gets the one w/o the lead screw.

still looking

Don't mess with a consumer deck. Besides not sounding great, they are hard to work on. You should be able to make a great recording on a revox A77, but again, you have to take the back of the machine off to align it! However, unlike Jeff Gillman (quoted above), I think an Ampex 350, 351, or 440-B ar...

Hi, I'm looking for a grampian or westrex mono head

Not sure why my previous wanted ad here was locked, but I’m still looking for a Presto or Fairchild lathe and grampian head

Thanks! I know him, nice guy. Sent him an email

I would pay 500 bucks for a Grampian head (especially a D). Thats just how it is these days. However, I wouldn’t pay $650 for a presto head! thats insane!

Who did you get yours from? If anyone has just a head for sale, I would be interested in buying it. As long as its not inline with this eBay guys prices for the presto and grampian head!

What would be a fair price for a grampian D or C?

My point was, after all, its still a presto head (and I know where to get one cheaper). A presto 8DG is really the main thing I am looking for, but why not list a few things.

Is that a good price for that head? The guy is also selling a presto head for 400 something dollars, which is a bit much

thanks for the link. Probably a good idea to get the lathe first, since it will probably have a head on it.

I'm in Brooklyn, NY-looking for a Presto 8D or 8DG, 6N, Fairchild lathe, or a Neumann AM131 or AM31A. Also looking for a mono grampian head, (EDIT: or a stereo head depending on price). Ortofon head possibly as well
