Re: NEWBIE STARTER GUIDE!

Re: Is a Presto 75A a good candidate for mono punk records?
Regarding needles and blanks, I sell embossing cones and polycarbonate blanks for it. With that head and my supplies you can cut some pretty good sounding records once you know what you are doing.

Re: Is a Presto 75A a good candidate for mono punk records?
Pick that up immediately. You will probably need to put some work into it, but that is a steal. The biggest issue is most likely going to be the rubber tire around the rim, but I sell Jed's external belt drive motors that will work on it, but you will have to break out a grinder to make two gaps for...

Re: Presto feed finger question
If you still have the blade you can cut the slot and just put it back in with the blade pulled out a little more. You can sharpen the contour side that is pushed by the feedscrew with a 1/4” dremel sanding barrel

Re: NEWBIE STARTER GUIDE!
We don't heat the stylus for embossing, just heat the disc to around 105 degrees. Never really tried. I've always been told that you have to have suction pulling air past the stone if you are heating it and suction is the reason I hate doing anything but embossing. And we get pretty good results wit...

Re: Vinyl Lathe Cut Machine for Music Production in Chile
I sell restored machines and hold Lathe Cut Camps a few times a year. The Sept one is sold out, but there is another in November with a couple spots left.

Re: Hi! I'm here because I can't ID this Aircastle vinyl lathe! Help!
That is just the generic GENERAL INDUSTRIES/Recordio /wilcox gay /etc home recording unit. They made a ton of them under different brand names and slightly different configurations, but most of them have a crystal cutterhead that will almost certainly not work unless it is re-crystalled and even the...

Re: funky frankenstein lathe cut records
I will text him. Just slow your roll. Your email may be going to his spam folder or something and he may not check IG (I certainly never do). I spoke to him a couple days ago and he was in there cutting records, so he hasn't gone anywhere. And he's been cutting records for people for at least a deca...

Re: Fairchild 740 Belts
I reached out to the Fairchild on ebay guy about buying one of the belts and he told me no.
I am also looking for a 750 belt. The 750-2 definitely has a flat belt, not a round belt.
