The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

hmm. whatabout to ask the people for the source material.. or just better quality...
ok maybe not easy to get. but from half the sources it should be possible....

hello bob thanks for sharing all that information... thanks to everybody doing tests.. it would be great if there are a few sources more for laquers.even if they never reach the apollo quality.. thinking of doing it for years..like you: many irons in the fire. made a few tests already with nitrocell...

hello once again. the grampian type D is not a real Feedback cutterhead !!! this is very important. it is more a transformer. the feedbackcoil is inside, or outside the drivecoil. and both coils are fix place. and the moving iron is the moving part. therefore you will have a lot of crosstalk. almost...

hello i will perform in berlin end of january 2008. i will cutting on stage and we will use the laquers immediately. check http://www.clubtransmediale.de/club-transmediale/program/28/anticipating-unpredictability.html i think they put the program description on the link soon. otherwise http://www.fl...

yes it is definitely possible with sc-99. i can measure out the dimensions and put on my website if that helps. although i have to say that this is a quick and dirty solution. as always. i needed instantly and didnt had time for great solutions... i did a completly new suspension block with new toe-...

yes i have send me a mail. so i can send it to you...
i think i dont have your mail adress.
flo

hello.
congratulations...finally you got one.
yes i have.depends on the model.
send me some pictures by mail of the lathe and the panel and i will see what i can do

vinylium introduced the technics sp1200/1210 resistor modification when the kingston dubplate cutter came to the market 2001. the main goal was to increase the stability of the phase regulator. the phase regulator is not very strong in the original condition. technics uses a current regulator for th...

hello.

acryl =plexiglas =pmma is much harder.
thats is my experience. if you have good diamond stylii it can be cut nicely.

with saphire stylus you destroy the stylus quite quick.

i prefer pc .the pc i used so far was quite soft compared to pc..

hello thanks for the datasheet. just a quick information. this is not a cutterhead it is a playbackhead!!! someone told me before but i didnt believe until i recieved your datasheet. i didnt knew that. because i also have a R5 and opened up. it looks exactly the same . but when you sent me the datas...

it is not a vestax. it is a custom made one. it is a long story..... mathieu briand a well french artist bought had in fact the first kingston dubplatecutter. he bought from our german partner company back in the times. this was the one and only prototype for years . the german company run out of mo...

i recommend 500 slow blow or 630mA fast one should be enough because if the fuse becomes hot the resistance raise..sound qualitiy suffers. this is the low budget version. used also in almost all cutting amps i have ever seen except neumann, ortofon. the luxury version , including the current meter (...

hello thanks for all your warnings. i saw that add also on ebay several times. i reported to ebay. take care for other fakes.... check what he mails...hope no one send some money ever for similar stuff: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FAKE GUY sends me this m...

yes. but im still not sure if this is a fake or not. we will see.

i will check if this is really the original buyer....

if it is not a fake. then i will be proud owner of vinylium dubplatecutter.yeaaah!!!
i was waiting about 8 years for that moment....

f.

yes i also think the machine is not the problem. it is not that bad at all. it just has its limits. and i think that should be mentioned clearly, discussed on technical facts, not on esotheric, emotional basis . its more the attitude of the creator.. sometimes it appears that he sells just to brainw...

hello just take a regular 10 inch..check for the diameters of lead in , lead out. i just lower the head on the outer diameter. do some leadin then start the track. and on the end the leadout. i think nothing special comapred to a dubplate. just make sure you are within the specs of the 10 inch. but ...

jayDC: westrex no chance on a presto. or at least it doesnt make sense. weight, and also size you wont be able to cut the whole recording area.... also the stylus will be far before the center line...so then you have to change the whole overhead. lewis D wrote: "But yeah, Iv heard a few cuts of thos...

ola. it is a wax recording head. moving iron type. got one in my collection as well. was the standard before wwII. mine has the telefunken brand. but a lot of equipment was built by neumann for telefunken.... if you have the datasheet.... would be cool to provide a scan and also a picture for my web...

ok. i did some tests with pp-tubes.normally used for water sink installation. i think that could work. except they are not conical. at the moment i have to redo the head suspension. so some pictures either from emmoritt or kd88 would be very appreciated... my first impressions: http://www.floka.com/...

hei there is a swiss artist from geneva. frederic post. he works since a few years with glue negative records. he calls them "miracol" we did many cuts for him, and he is doing the reproduction with kind of white glue used for wood its on Polyvinylacetat basis.... i think frederic has no direct webs...
