Who can help me with my VR T560 cutterhead?

[fredbissnette]

have you thought about using exciters? i got some from parts express and made a head and got decent results form embossing im not sure how they would fair for cutting.

Hey Ruben, Super huge thanks for these posts and sharing a research you made.
We have the same problem with the cutterhead. Burned one channel and don't want to have busyness with Souri. Most asked people don't want to get involved of fixing it. So probably we will follow your way, and Im really curious how it went to you? Did aluminium helped? how about epoxy? and is the silicon ring is necessary?

Hey, big thanks for sharing this research! Im really curious how it went? did other tweeters did the job?

[Teddy]

How thick are the wires that come out of the cones and connect to the stylus holder? Can you tell what type of material it is?

not sure about the material but these are tubes, not wire. for light weigh.

Litterally none of those tweeters are suitable and are far from original. They are all SILK DOME, you require Titanium dome.

[rubenr]

Nein! No, i repaired more than 10 cutter heads, and are Silk

No they are not silk dome! Plenty of photos on here of original tweeters to prove this plus I’ve seen them myself personally.

Maybe you’ve found silk dome that work ok but they are nothing like original.

Pretty sure the original tweeters that were used in the head are no longer in production, so who knows what drivers are being included for the new head builds. :shrugs:

Souri stock piled a ton of the original drivers and he still has some.

There’s no evidence of anyone ever dissecting an original Souri head with silk domes.

I am thinking of selling my T560, Any offers let me know.

Many thanks
