Presto K8 — 500ohm 1D

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.

I have a rebuilt Presto K8 and a rebuilt Presto K8 1D 500ohm head. The K8 has a 8ohm output to the cutter head for the stock 5c. I’d like to use a transformer to use my 1D. Do I need a 8ohm/500ohm transformer or do I need a 500ohm/500ohm transformer.

Have the coil in the head replaced with an 8ohm coil. Mike Dixon at latheparts.com user PIAPTK
