The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

This is a brilliant build, thank you so much for such detailed instructions in your engineering notes. I'm putting together a simple lathe for fun and have tons of questions that I'll try and work out before spamming them on the thread, but one simple one was how do you cut the holes in the phenolic...

Amazing project! Congratulations on your many successful builds. I had some ideas about using those kinds of 3D printer transports and so I'm happy to see that it can be done without excessive stepper noise transferring into the axis. Do you have more details about the mechanism used to connect the ...

Hi Thanks for all the tips. Have been experimenting with EQ and Filters - I used to work at a record company getting vinyl cut and manufactured so I know quite a lot about the process, it's just that this is my first practical experience with it. I think one of the main issues, above feeding the hea...

Hello All It works! Bypassed the electronics and using small 3W amp for time being, and the machine cuts great! Shallow impression, it's inscribing rather than "cutting" after all, and some issues with tracking if too much bass, but a remarkable introduction to this remarkable world. The platter is ...

Thanks for the tip. that was going to be my next question! Is it easy to blow this head up, or the coils? I really don't want to do that so will have to be very careful. Any more thoughts or answers most appreciated. Clever Trolls.

Hi Thanks for the pointers. I don't know loads about valve equipment, but I have a friend who is extremely knowledgable looking into it for me. Some of the valves aren't giving anything like full emission, and one I don't think is working at all, and they're american spec valves not as common here i...

Hi New member here - did a schematic or circuit diagram for the Sound Scriber ever appear? The patents don't seem to give much info on the electronic workings of the machine. I have a 1949 vintage machine, that needs repairing and restoring to bring it up to shape. Any new help would be most appreci...
