Hollywood trolls?

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Hey- I'm heading over to LA tomorrow. I'll be there for a couple weeks- any suggestions for lathe tourism related stuff would be great.
Thanks

If you are still there find out if Len Horowitz has any spare time for you to drop in.
He's in Culver City between the old MGM lot and Fox.

Seconded. Go see Len. He's one of like 10 or less real old school trolls left in the world who really know their shit. Depending on what you're working on I might rank him at #1 or 2. I live up in Eugene Oregon about 18 hr drive up if you head to Portland and wanna see what a real Frankenstein workshop looks like. Cheers
