I've been collecting them for years, lack of time to fully restore!

1. PRESTO K-8 w/1-D cutterhead - motor works, amp works, cutting head works, platter spins steady - 1800 eur
2. PRESTO K-8 w/1-D cutterhead - motor works, amp works, cutting head works, platter spins steady - 1800 eur
3. PRESTO K-8 - no power tubes, no rectifier tubes, no cutting head. but powers on (lights on), motor works, platter spins steady - 850 eur
4. RCA VICTOR w/cutterhead - powers on, motor works, cutterhead works, 4pin input modified for jack 1/4" line input - 2000 eur
5. FEDERAL RECORDER w/RCA cutterhead - power amp complete but untested due to 5-pin power cable which i haven't got; motor works (via separate power cable), RCA cutterhead professionally restored - works great. needs new rubber rollers (tried my best to make them by myself but they arent perfect). - 1400 eur

All units operate 120V needs step-down transformer (not included but cheap & available anywhere).
Cutting styluses not included but you can get them from Steven/Carine at myshank (hands down, great & helpful guy)
All units cleaned & lubricated, stored in climate-controlled conditions.
Shipping is FREE, door-to-door within mainland European Union (included in the price).
Some cut tests were done of course (No.3 - no tests were done, I don't remember No.5 but may be - long time ago), but you need to work more or less on all of these - hey, those are over 70year old!


:arrow: :idea: I can replace them all for complete Vinyl Recorder system w/external motor or similar stereo cutting system. Then we can meet somehwere in between.


You can come and check/pick them up by yourself (Breslau, Polen).
Here are two shots but I dont remember when it was done. Of course if you're interested I will post detailed shots.
