UMass Lowell storage room find

[tragwag]

I'm graduating Umass lowell this coming week, and I finally got someone to show me the place where they keep all the old equipment. It's quite a sight!
I found this lathe on the very top shelf of this huge cabinet.
Looks to me like a Scully?
There was also a Scully 4 track tape machine in another area of the room, so I'm thinking they might have been used together.

It looks like a Neumann but the bed seems very long and the turntable isn't quite right. Unless it's one of Fairchild's experimental off-board belt driven machines. Might account for the thick pulley under the turntable. The head looks like a Webster that I have, although it also could be a Universal Microphone as well.

I'd make them an offer. Looks like it hasn't been used in many a year.

you should make an offer on it, if you dont you could end up "living in a van down by the river"...haha

It looks like a Neumann AM131 with the strobe ring and the vaccuum platter missing. A friend of mine had one of those many years ago.

the deal with this whole storage room is they someday want to house a museum eventually. that lathe will be up there until that day sadly.

[Steve E.]

Make an offer anyway. If you don't, everyone else on the board will.

I think Aussie is right. Hopefully, the other pieces are in that room somewhere and someone finds them before they get scattered.

Yep, AM31, with original platter to accommodate wax cakes!!!
