I met another troll at oreillys auto parts while getting new

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 walked into oreillys auto parts the other day to get some transmission fluid and decided to get some disc wax. Out of 5 employees on duty I just asked this one dude if there was a better, classier wax than turtle. He said well what are you using it for? I said well buddy I cut records. And I swear to god this dudes jaw hit the floor. He said he used to cut records in some poopstain of a town in Wyoming and that I was the coolest dude he ever met. Being the humble guy I am, I poked and prodded this guy for like 15 min til we realized he worked on a VMS 80 and its been mothballed in the desert about 25 years in some bumfuck shithole. Pardon my language but Wyoming suuuuuuucks. So we're gonna try to get it out of scrap and the dude sold me the most bad ass wax that he used to use on laxuers.its called Nu -Finish soft paste and it kicks ass and comes in a tin like Murray's hair pomade. Rock!

I wonder if he worked for the pressing plant that is now Palomino in KY. They bought all their stuff from Wyoming years ago.

That would be an awesome find. Go for it and report back. And don't forget the photos. Good luck.
