$15 for Lathe Trolls 15 yr Anniversary!

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.

$15 for Lathe Trolls 15 yr Anniversary!

Inspired by Steve's revelation that The Lathe Trolls turns 15 years old today, I just donated $15 (plus a little) through the Contribute button up top.

Many of us have learned so much, connected with like minded weirdos, bought/sold equipment through this forum. And Steve has been the main mod, funder, dealt with the tech problems, etc for a decade and a half. On top of that, he is an NYC gigging musician. I haven't actually spoken to him since the pandemic broke out (I need to change that soon, because I consider Steve a close friend), but my guess is that anybody whose main income is playing pickup piano gigs in the epicenter of a pandemic, which is also one of the most expensive cities in the world, when there are no pickup gigs to be had could probably use a little extra cash.

So, if you can afford to, please Contribute $15 (or more) to Steve and to the Lathe Trolls.

I made a donation myself. Good call, Mike. Thanks to Steve and all the trolls who I constantly learn things from.

Donated! Happy Birthday Trolls! I will celebrate by cursing out my not quite working right lathe and once again thinking about what I need to do to get it working correctly and not getting around to accomplishing anything on it!

I just realized this happened!! That's what I get for having my head in the clouds for a few days. Thank you all SO MUCH. I'm moved, and indeed it is helping right about now. Love to you all.

Thanks Mike, for the reminder!
Great time to set up monthly donations too!

I wouldn’t be well into my second year with my 560 without you all and your selflessness. Thank you Steve for having a place for us all. <3
