The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Prestos - vegetable glycerine. Works just fine. It's what is recommended in the manual... Vinyl Recorder - RC shock silicone oil. RC tires on the cutterhead, so seems quite fitting! I believe it is 500cSt or around 60wt. Can't remember! I just asked for the middle of the range expecting to go higher...

Great. I'll take one for now. HMU when they're ready.

Could actually do with two of them...

Ahh, thanks Sue!

+1 for the MyShank love-in. Solid, reliable service run by nice humans. Great products. Saved me when Mr Sourisseau ghosted me! If I was thinking about a new stereo cutterhead right now, it would be top of the list - wait or no.

Hi All,

One of my Fairchild 225-A carts has lost its tip.

I'd really like to get it repaired and was wondering if any trolls offer such a service, or could recommend someone?

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks man. I can use the original tube bracket with a bit of copper pipe to achieve the same thing.

Hi all, I'm looking to improve the swarf pick up on my 8N's. The standard Presto system - where a straight tube with a flared opening is mounted out in front of the head - kind of works for lacquers but for plastic it is pointless. I'm scratching my head over how to mount a VR-style tube that gets r...

Sweet

MyShank has successfully made and proven a diamond stylus that works on lacquer, so maybe contact them? Only 320 shank though, I believe...

Que lots of 'butane hash oil' style videos of lathe trolls mixing up nitrocellulose...

What a find! Thank you.

For the price of Souri's external motor and steel plate you can get a nice SP-15 or if you are patient an SP-10mk2. The SP-10mk2 is becoming very expensive on eBay, but sometimes you can still get a good deal. If you are good with electronics, the SP-15 can be a real bargain. A lot of them sell for ...

In any condition. Ideally in Europe. HMU

I replaced mine with Re'an DIN plugs. Gold plated pins, metal shell and a much nicer fit...

It seems that a software like yours or the Izotope/Adobe ones might come in handy if I continue this dive into the world of vinyl... +1 for Adobe Audition. I've been using it since it was called Cool Edit back in the late 90's. Great wave editor with excellent analysis tools such as the spectral ed...

This is great! Love the idea of having an envelope follower driving the voltage regulator. 8) I know a guy who builds modular synths, so I'm going to see if we can knock something up between us and will share the findings... I'm thinking the env. follower would need to be driven by a summed and low-...
