Rekocut system.....

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.

Dietrich -
There's an ebay auction up in 3 days for a M-12S overhead and a Rek-o-kut platter - maybe you might want to grab it if you can for spare parts

The RCA we are restoring it slowly. Had to cut down the table to start from 6 ft to just over 4 now. That work is almost done. Next is to rewire connections we had to move on the table and into the small controller area.

After all this we will taking the lathe apart and cleaning it up.
