What I did during my quarantine...

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 got the wild idea that I wanted to put together an analog mono recording studio around my Presto 6N project earlier this year. Well...here's what I have so far. It's mostly bargain-basement stuff that needs a helping hand, but I'm a sucker for rescuing interesting pieces of equipment. It's still a work in progress, so we'll see how it goes. Hope you all like it...I'm really enjoying finding the equipment and putting it all together.

Nice! Love the Ampex. I've only gotten to do one studio session on tape. It was awesome!

Ahem, could you move all that audio stuff over, it's blocking my view of the car.
