looking for help identifying a home cutter
Hello Trolls
So I just got this home recorder yet have no idea of the manufacturer.
The only markings are the motor And an amp schematic. These don't help much as many use these parts.
There are several distinguishing features.
The large recording arm, 33&78 only, the amp being on the left with two lights & the speaker cut out (reminds me ov webster Chicago for some reason.
Cutting cart is x26 with othe stamp 307 & 174 Surprisingly still functioning Hopefully for a good long while.
Platter size same as recordette.
Interestingly, the spindle still remains as I would think it would be attached to the platter as on others, thus driving the lead screw. Perhaps this just became disattached?
Here are some photos.
I remember a few years ago on West tech services Noticing an area where he had had an archive of old cutters Yes I'm having trouble finding that now. Anyone know how to find that?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Cheers

A Masco for sure. Very similar if npt componently identical to this RK6
Other than the speaker cut out & switch/amp placement.

Maybe Aircastle or Ward/Airline or Audio Industries or maybe Bell. Yet that speaker cut out is pointing me to either an A or W or even M...
This thing is HARD to nail down!!!
this might be one for the archives after its identification...
p.s. I was confused about the missing platter & center spindle, as I only was going by an old recordio I first looked at & my recordette which at the time had the platter stuck. I now realized after that the two do come apart rather easy & my 6A platter fit perfect.

I have one similar to yours. It was in a console with a radio made by Packard Bell.
