If you have $9k + probably at least another $1k for crating and cartage - it can be!!

It's certainly a beautiful looking lathe. Dylan's definitely a good guy so folks should bid with confidence.

Steve, thanks for the kind words. I will miss this lathe when it sells, it is really in beautiful shape. I used to keep it in the house to cut records before I moved...

I have a good camera, so I will try to take a video of the lathe running and perhaps cutting before it is dismantled. I really like how simple the lathe is to use.

That is really a neat lathe. I didn't know that there were any digitally controlled Scully's. Wish I had the spare loot to grab it.

Ah, so this is Scully's "The Lathe" - never had the luck to see one in person. Nice to hear it runs. Looks like an interesting scope system. What a beast! It looks lonely sitting there with no lacquer on it. Was this formerly at DiscMakers?

Be absolutely ideal near her cousin .... Jejejejeje

We are restoring one of the famous Scully 2" 16 Tracks (280 is the model I think , but not sure) , Have many electronics problems. The look and feel are the common on Scully machines like this LS 76 , absolutely nice but totally out of our possibilities.

Who will be the Lucky ......

no. diskmakers had 2 classic scullys.
wow.looks perfect
maybe the one from the RCA quad studio in nyc.
i received some original pictures when it was sold.

i bought ortofon heads and jvc amps at the time when "the lathe" was sold.

ahh yes the Capps Scully.
I almost bought this before Tubefan before decided I did not personally have the skills to bring it back to life. Looks like tubefan did.

very cool lathe

Hi Dietrich, this lathe is actually not the Capps Scully, that one sold for $650 last year to a nice guy in the Carolinas. It needed too much work for me as well. Motor missing, damaged castings, bearings all needed replacement. I sold the Westrex cutting system to someone else.

This is the last generation Scully, and is a very different lathe. Much nicer computer than the Capps, designed by Scully.

ahh thanks Tubefan. wood finish on scully confuse me. and I was surprised you had the Capps machine working...

wish i could buy this one

Fuller Sound in Miami had an LS-76 for sale 2 years ago. I don't know who ended up with it though. It was also set up for Ortofon cutter heads - they sold in a separate sale GO 741 Cutting Amps, GE741 Power Supply, CPS 741 transfer console, DSS 732 (Blue) Cutter Head, DSS-821 (Green) Cutter Head.

You can still see pics of these at http://www.fullersound.com/ebay/

Anyway - that's the only other LS-76 I've ever seen up for auction.

Glass platter?

Post: # 12565Unread post **Phinster** Wed Feb 02, 2011 1:55 pm

9K for 'the lathe' a bargain! Add a Westrex 3D Mk2 and yer rockin' !!

Post: # 12568Unread post **tubefan** Wed Feb 02, 2011 2:51 pm

I think the Fullersound Scully went to Europe actually, he sold it for something like $12k. That one was a bit different, none of them so far have been identical (hence I think Flo might be right that my lathe is from RCA, most of the other LS76 I have seen have either covers for the Lord shock mounts or have them hidden). I know the other Florida LS76 is in pieces, as I have a 2nd suspension box from it. Criteria had a few of these lathes.

I am 0 for 2 on my guessing.
Dylan is the king of sniffing out Scullys

Seems as the auction has ended for the buy now price that he's also the proud new owner of 9000 US dollars.
