WTB Lathe for Dubs + Lacquer

Hello,
I'm looking to upgrade my setup. I started with a second hand T560 that, I changed almost all the elements as the time passed. I would like to get something better. I'm only doing dubplates and I'd like to do lacquers too. I also would like to have a feedback head.

I'm looking at newer stuff but I'm open to other suggestions. Located in Spain.

So far in my list

AM44 - very interesting, I'd like to see one - also very unsure about availability
ZEZ - interesting too I'm trying it soon - several things need to be clarified
Magnetovolt - no info
Sillitoe - not released yet

I'd like to stay under 10 000€

Peace

Just to clarify, Magnetovolt only offers custom disk mastering systems to your individual specifications.

These can be based on vintage lathes such as the Fairchild project on the following link:
https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6142

Or perhaps on the AM44 system subject to availability, as in the project on this link:
https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6725

We are not going to be offering a lathe of entirely new design any time in the near future due to the impossibility of offering a high performance lathe for disk mastering at a price anyone would be willing to pay, since the R&D for starting from scratch would require an unrealistic budget.

We are generally very excited about the AM44 project and we are heavily involved with it at the moment. It is a system that can come in many configurations, from basic to super high end. More details will be posted in the near future.
Both Flo Kaufmann (the originator and main developer of the AM44) and ourselves are also busy with other projects, but we are doing our best to keep the development going.
Our own Magnetovoltized version of the AM44 prototype is currently in regular use as the main disk mastering system at Magnetic Fidelity, with excellent results.
Good things come to those who wait...

Hi Audiosteam, I could find no other way to contact you then to do this. This is a polite reminder to respond to that PM I sent you a long time ago, almost two months. I already tried emailing you BTW. Sorry if I am being rude replying on this thread, but I really need a response.
