Presto overhead hybrid turntable recommendation

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.

Plenty of stuff on here about turntables other than 1210s etc. for the T560, I'm wondering what people who are running Presto overheads (without presto turntables) are using. SP10 obvious candidate I guess, and Jed's belt drive on just about anything but what else are people running? TIA

Im using Technics SP10. It has reliable speed and can handle the Heavy Presto over head with the added vacuum stuff i added.

the SP10 is really worth the investment.
Rock solid speed and Torque.

You will have to build a mounting device area for the Presto overhead swing area tho.

Thanks! yeah weirdly I bought an SP10 plinth with extended arm mount options the other day as it was really cheap and worst case can modify that further if I do go for it
