Farewell....

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.

Farewell....

I regret to inform you all, That due to an unforseen circumstance (Marraige Breakdown) I will be shutting down operations permanently...

Because I have nowhere to conduct operations efficiently and I dont know when I will be able to reestablish - I will be selling all of my equipment and walking away from the industry....

Customers who have sent me cutters to work on - I will repair your heads, but I can't take on any more work as most of my tools have been placed into storage...

I thank all those who have sought my services and I thank lathe trolls for allowing me to share information and advertise my work...

Farewell to all...

In times like these work keeps you sane.
You really need to reassess this decision
Take it from one who has been through it
Just a suggestion it worked for me and many others
Best of whatever you wish
Cheers

Hi Trolls,

Everything has been sold...

Thankyou to everyone for showing your support through this difficult time in my life...

I now have just enough capital raised to pay for a couple months rent and to buy a cheap car...

Within the next couple weeks I will have settled in and will resume taking repair orders

I have also managed to be able to keep a hold of my Presto 75-A record lathe which I will continue to rebuild and hopefully be able to resume cutting sometime in the future...


Once again, A big thankyou to everyone... "The dream isn't dead yet"


Regards
