Years ago, After a lot of troubles, scammers, pain and even starvation (some people here know what happen), I decide to make my own cutting lathe. It´s silent, not arduino controlled, buttons all timed controlled, silent suction thet can be used at the botton of your table and even midi controlled.
With this, people started do aking me about make a cutting head, not only to put in their T560, but with way to put Grampiam, T560 or neumann Stylus..
And they said "Why you dont post your work at Lathe Trolls as an alternative for who needs a new head for their T560? And I through "Why not? but not only for a T560"
So I present you the MGS INT-D & INT-FB (Dynamic & Feedback version)
-Smaller than a T560 (6.7cm x 6.8cm x 4.2cm closed to it)
-Ligher than a T560 (230gr)
-Made on 4.5Ohms drivers and Stereo (not a pair of Scammed piezo twitters who blows up and come back to the scammers country)
-4.5ohms (or maybe 9ohms) FB mini coils (no, it´s not a cartridge glued on the torque tube, and it´s not a coin inside the cutting head ether)
-Aluminun body (orbit finish) and torque tube with option to fit a presto/grampian, T560 and Neumann Stylus (I Study this option for an adapter but the first version have 2 holes, one for grampian, other to T560 or neumann type)
-Brass Springs/piano wire(we not gonna make lies here, that´s it, and yep, springSSS, more than one)
-Alu Suction tube (smaller, even a less pression can suck like a charm and it´s direct to the Cutting head, so if you have a more warped blank, suction tube travels with the head together. Fit a stylus, adjust it and done!)
-An LED inside to Bright everything (No RGB, it´s a cutting head, not a gamer´s keyboard)
-Can reach +3db RMS
"oh are you only have these pictures?" by now, yes, I took them quickly as I had to send to a client in a hurry!
And came complete with:
-Cutting Head
-T560 Head Adapterr with 4 measurements (yep, dont worry, we made an adapter for this!)
-Cable for powering the console and DB19 cable for head+Console
-A simple 7" Vinyl record with 1k in 0dB to adjust your Cartridge volume properly , a Pink noise with your original head Cutter (no eq) and with a equalized one, and a Sample recordet and tested of your head with a song Cutted on -6DB, -3DB, 0DB and +3DB (RMS)
-Complete console box
-OBS: dont came with stylus, if you want one, contact your dealer!
The Console itself have Heat controller, 500mah fuse protection, Amp inside, LED on/off, VU out meter calibrated (dont have on the pictures, but reach the desired volume and cut without fear) And goes fully Equalized and with a Internal limiter for Highs, This one is interesting because its calibrated for the last step of the total volume, so when you reach up volume, it´s only limit the highst that needed, you dont loose highs with lower volumes, only what it needed to not blow everythings up with saturated highs.
For Feedback or dynamic version it came already adjusted with your head.. Feedback Version of console came with a aditional FB playback output
You Don´t more aditionals like amp, heat control, psu, nothing. Just Install the head, the console and you´re done!
So, What you gonna need more? Only Your T560 or your lathe, a Stylus, ready to go!
The Head Alu Body are designed to have more space down above the Stylus, so yeah, you´ll have space to make your strange records that need to cross the Lead-out part, with not worries to hit the center pin from yout turntable (obs: have a 7-8mm of space for this)
It´s not a ultra professional head, but It´s well cnc and hand maded parts, developed with love and my oun lathe make people happy for years.
Came in signature and serie´s numbered starting at 009
It´s not that cheap, but´s really affordable comparing. I thinking about putting prices here, but I dont know If I dare or even if I can, so Sent me a private!
The Pictures are from the Dynamic version (feedback only changes inside) and the Console are the same, but this version dont have VU meter at the time..
The Sound is captured direct from vinyl, with a Staton 680EE, only preamp, no eq added..
Sound from Dyn head, 4 versions of the same music with Volumes recorded in -6DB, -3DB, 0DB & +3DB RMS:

Sound from Feedback head, recorded at the middle of the of the disc, volume at -3DB (RMS):

And even if you´re interesting more, I made some T560 Motorized console for a client. Simple commands, but deliciously quiet.
If you´re interested, sent me PM, but I had to tell you: by now I asking for a 90 days to make, it takes time, so be patient, and thanks by now!
