I'm looking to do some cutting with a couple real lacquers for once. I'll pay whatever they are worth. I don't need to buy a bunch of them from transco, I just want to test a couple before I go that route.

Thanks!

You can order them from Apollo. You don't have to buy a full box. If you buy less than 25 Masters or 50 dubs (one full box) you just pay an extra dollar per disc.

Cool. Thats good to know. They don't have prices posted anymore. Whats the going rate?

Well, there are a number three kinds of lacquers: masters, reference dubs and reference lites. And of course, three sizes: 12", 10", 7". So, what style and size were you looking for? I'll pm you.

if you want masters for those size vinyls, then you want 14" and 10"..

12" master would = 10" vinyl, and 7" master would make a 5" vinyl..

You need the extra leeway for handling..
