My name is Amber Ricker.
My father was Stan Ricker who developed half-speed mastering. He has half-speed mastered artists from the Beatles to Ray Charles to Green Day to Avenged Sevenfold--and many, many more.
We are very tight on money and wanted to sell the lathe for basically the most we can get it for--preferably to someone who would actually use it and continue cutting on it. We want the music to continue!
The lathe is a Neumann and is in excellent condition. Also, if you are a fan of Stan Ricker's mastering work, this would be THE lathe he used to produce his mastered records! If anyone is interested, please let us know a price range you think is fair. As long as you give us a *fair* price, you might just be the new owner of this historic piece of equipment!
Any interested buyers can drop me an email at remember_me923 [at] Yahoo.com. Thank you very much!
