The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

What size lathe?
I helped someone ship from states to london this past summer.

Is there a way to heat these up with a lamp before cutting?
I only pressed these but cut myself only on lacquers...

How is your stylus head temperature? are you cooking them?
seems odd if you have the proper suspension settings

all looked used-not sure overall conditions. took a chance buying 6 from someone online but only one unused. no time to test the others. any offers let me know

Are you getting transco or apollo lacquers?
i started with transco and now with apollo. i guess the same thing?


also i really think you are blowing thru styli due to too much pressure coming down

apologies for not noticing your reply earlier. In novemeber I had two boxes with issues from apollo+the bad styli. even a recent 320 seems rushed-not the best looking tip to it. works fine but i actually bought a number of unused older micropoints which have more defined tips. does not help i am so ...

yes sold 100+ but no feedback yet

that was not my system. not was the one AL had been working on.
mine is doing just fine thanks!

I actually received two 320 stylus from apollo this past fall that were not quite up to spec and i could not cut with them.

i would try angle adjust but if this is the first time with this issue maybe it is isolated

what system are you cutting on?
i was having similar problems due to my suspension not being set correctly. i was cutting too deep

rebuilt and conditioned by al grundy.

Pulled off a neumann vms 66 or 70. wire snipped from lathe hookup so a power source would need to be created. also missing top eye piece-any microscope repair place should have.
