Hello, i am having this same problem with my recordings using my Presto 6N lathe with Neumann cutting head. Has anyone found a way to dampen the moto sound / vibrations coming from the Presto motor? Its really audible in the recordings when i turn the volume up. its sort of like a low frequency ton...

Well i was curious if the idler wheel was totally dry, so trimmed the dry & uneven top layer and found that inside seems to be in very good condition as a rubber. Living in a 50hz region lowers the speed and now is just above 33rpm! I am planning to send it to Jesus @agnewanalog for a very precise ...
