Seeking Grampian C cutterhead info

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Can anybody point me toward a source to find or buy any manuals, schematics, info, etc. on this? I haven't found too much here using the search function.

I just acquired an RCA lathe with a Grampian C cutterhead on it.

Thanks!

Yeh, sure thing. When I get home, I'll snap a pic.

I don't remember the model offhand. It definitely was RCA, though. Has a metal plate riveted into the bit that hovers over the platen.

RCA made at least 2 ranges of lathes through a number of years.
Both comparable to Presto units. A more pro fixed installation one and a portable one.
