Automatic groove speed controller for VR

Hey trolls has anyone played around or made one up?

I know Souri was selling one, but I think he stopped production?

Anyone have any diagrams or know where to locate one?

Re: Weird channel drop out on low input signal

Ok so I’ve tightened those 2 wires with the fuses and still have the issue. Haven’t sprayed the fader with IPA yet, not sure what to do there. But I did move fader up and down, seems fine to me..

Re: Disappearing Groove around edge of blank anomoly! Why?

I had this problem when cutting picture discs.

My solution was to put the rubber matt under the disc (against Souri advice)

ps: im using Souri platter and motor too.

Re: Heating cabinet for blanks

Hydroponic shops sell heat matts for people propagating plants. These work well for vinyl as they dont heat too much and aren't harsh, so dont warp!!

Re: Help with 'pops' T560
