The Facebook page is no longer visible, at least to me. But WHAT is going on with that Wix page?? There are closeup videos of a steel-needled Victrola being played, in the background. What does THAT have to do with this product?

Is the chuck an actual Victrola? It looks exceptionally well made compared to what this guy can make... I was wondering if he took a machining course in the meantime, but thinking again, he probably just did a PhD in cheating...

Please edit the title of this topic to his new name.
He just wants to be forgotten with the old name.

The problem is that it is SO close in name to the very legit Vinyl Recorder (no S) of Souri in Germany.

I created a separate thread with a related warning, and directed it to this thread for the sake of continuity:

http://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6054
Steve E. wrote:This is where it gets confusing, for those who are just getting into record cutting.

OK. First of all.

NOT a scam. LEGITIMATE PRODUCT:
Souri's Vinyl Recorder or VinylRecorder:
http://vinylrecorder.com/

Souri has been doing his thing since before our site has been up.....so, over ten years. RELIABLY. Many of our site users use his product, T560; some -- several? -- have used it professionally for years. As with any system, there are pros and cons to it, and you can search the site for ongoing discussions about it. It involves an investment in equipment, an investment in training, and proprietary blanks. Those who choose to use it have decided from the available data that it's a good match with their needs.

So, now, suddenly, we have this.

Scam. ILLEGITIMATE PRODUCT:
Angulo's "Vinyl Recorders" (with an "s" at the end) or "Vinyl Disc Recorde" [sic] or "Vinyl Disc Recorder":
http://vinyldiscrecorder.wix.com/vinylrecorders
and
https://www.facebook.com/VinylRecorders
(Which I can't seem to visit. if YOU can, please post screen shots.)

The main discussion is in this other thread, which any members are encouraged to contribute to:
http://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=5854
I wanted to post a separate thread for the sake of the title.

Angulo seems to be a moving target, most likely changing his name to avoid our warnings.

Guys ... these images are of a design of a user Tarcisio Giustino. Tarcisio is my friend and has been working in this cutting head a few months. Even sent me pictures of finished parts made of metal. Raul (Angulo) is using someone else's project to promote.
The following images Tarcisio sent me:
IMG_4172.JPG
IMG_4173.JPG
IMG_4174.mp4
Tarcisio informed me that is producing some pieces to sell soon.

Hey Angulo, shame

How would Raul have gotten these designs? Can Tarcisio weigh in on this? He is a member of this forum.

He is much closer but still doesn't get the whole torque tube / V spring thing.
He needs to watch this and pay close attention:

Well, I'm just going to point out a technical observation about the video. Bryan constructed does in fact represent the motion of the the stylus when given left channel or right channel or left and right channel simultaneously. Bryan's rig shows the lateral and vertical motion of the stylus.

However, mechanically speaking, it is not a proper representation of the actual physics involved to make this happen in a 45/45 torque tube style stereo arrangement. I say this confidently and without equivocation. The rig has hinges where the push rods meet the torque tube. Also it has hinges where the push rods meet the servo. Yeah, that alone makes this only a demonstration of the movement of the stylus and not a demonstration of the true mechanics of the torque tube system. FYI. This will all be detailed in my ebook on cutterhead theory and practice. And, I'm thinking Angulo will probably want to read it once published.

In the meantime, you can also watch this video of the motion of the stylus. More to come soon.

You can see in the video that the man has done a lot of work, but the effect miserable at the moment, you can hear a large distortion, perhaps by a webcam microphone, but I do not know .... Did he cut, pressed steel sheet? What is this material plate?
