Anything goes! Inventors! Artists! Cutting edge solutions to old problems. But also non-commercial usage of record cutting. Cost- effective, cost-ineffective, nutso, brilliant, terribly fabulous and sometimes fabulously terrible ideas.

built the new stylus, stylus holder, new gaskets and diaphragm, used a 400hz tone for the first test and got some feeble modulation on the paper. i need to smoke the paper to actually test how well this will work. the machine is recording sound...
