Unusual streaking in random patterns

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.

Hi,

I've been getting these random patterns of streaking, they don't effect sound at all. They are always different shapes and don't seem to be caused by disc wobble or stylus defect. I am using sour stylus with my shank blacks on t560. Can anyone help?

I have seen these too - but on commercial pressings (new so it's due to wear)
