Mystery Lyrec lathe

[tape]

Sorry for the crappy pictures!

I have found this Lyrec lathe called "Type AG 36-1 NR 4653"
and here google is not of much help - could this be some kind of custom job?
There is also an AG 40 turntable and two motors and heavy platters.

cool find!

Yeah, heavy metal!
Looks like a more stationary version of the SV2 "mobile" recorder.
Also cool finding a bunch of motors and turntables!

BTW - are you somewhere in the north?

Cheers

hi yes - Denmark, homeland of the Lyrec (which by the way is short for "Lyngby Recorders" - Lyngby being the danish town where they were loacted)
I manged to take some better pictures - some of the items I don't even know what are, so any info some might have would be very helpful to me

Can it be that one of the motors is a little shorter? Something ike 2/3 of the other? If that is the case then you have one motor for 33/78 RPM and the other is the classic SM8/3 with 33/45/78 RPM speed. No starter motor attached.
The mechanics look really nice, classic lyrec!
The "electronics" I can't identify - can be pretty anything from what I see on the pictures...

Great machine. I would buy one for myself. I like these cutting head offset mechanisms.

yes dubcutter, the motors are like that. Also included is the unit that converts to 16 rpm.
I believe more and more that what I have is a "bastard" Lyrec sv2 "mobile" lathe, built into the chassis of a lyrec turntable. I am trying now to find somebody with motor skills so I can get it up and running.

some more and better pics

Sub platter looks made by Neumann but the leveling screws are accessed from the top instead of the bottom.

Neumann & Lyrec obviously had a manufacturing relationship.

Great car. Can you take pictures of the back of the overhed to hold the cutting head and move it?
