Does anyone remember the Desktop Record Cutter kickstarter campaign? There website is down and there Lathe Trolls account is dead. I think they sold a few on the campaign and I want to know where I can buy one!

Thanks.

I wonder if they ever had a fully functional prototype to begin with? I've never seen a picture of their setup with a cutter head installed.

Oh nvm, found a picture with a cutter head installed! Too bad the Kickstarter didn't went through.

It's not how many times you fall but how many times you get back up!

I really hope the team behind the hardware finds a way to bring the project back to life. What about production in smaller batches, one customer at a time.
