Search for a feedscrew and turntable bearings for old neuman

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.

Hi!
Great find!
That is the very early version - interesting is the turntable with dots instead of line stroboscope, I've seen a similair one on another machine in sweden but couldn't find it on my computer now...
Normally the bearings and feedscrew are very good and don't have to be replaced unless they have been destroyed by wrong operation or if the machine was droped downstairs.
If the shaft is bent you have a problem.
The bearings are standard parts and if you disassemble the machine you can read the numbers and order new ones (if needed)
The feedscrew is a bit special, and probably your machine still has a metal halfnut instead of the later plastic ones and therefore the screw shape has to be very accurate.
I would start with a good clean and oiling and see if you really need replacement parts!

BTW, on your picture is no Ortofon head, but something that looks like a Lyrec head. Simple moving iron design that does not need fancy electronics, probably a HiFi amp is good enough to test it.

Hi!
No, not from Sweden. A snowy country more in the south...

How do you think Ortofon made heads for Lyrec?
A couple hours browsing my computer I found that other pic again hehe
Guess it is from a museum in Sweden, same custom dial-knob on the right hand side of the machine (pitch adjustement?).
This one has a Ortofon Mono head and an intersting long suspension spring.
Is that a 16 inch platter? No vacuum?

No vacuum. The knurled knob on the spindle screws down to hold the lacquer If I remember correctly, this has a left hand bread.
