The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Sold.

We've had a few questions regarding the lathe that I thought I'd clear up. -The pic has a temporary TT belt. A new OEM mylar one will be included in the sale. The pitch motor has a stock mylar belt. -The TT motor has been upgraded and now has quartz lock. (The original one did not) -The Pitch/Depth ...

We've had issues with Adamant styli as well. Streaky and undefined cuts under the scope. I'm also having issues with heat. Seems like the wire is not wrapped around the gem properly before gluing and they stylus is not getting hot. It's happening with 2/5 stylus. Having said that they seem to be bet...

The Transco stylus have been horrible. I've returned 5-6 of them in the last 2 months. Switched back to Adamants.

[Edit : It's actually Serial # 651]

Did you use the backside of the lacquer? Maybe a scuff mark.

Anyone experiencing heating issues with Adamant Styli? I've been using the NSH-2s off and on for years and never had an issue until now. The heating wire doesn't seem to be transmitting the proper amount of heat to the stylus. You can touch the stylus at .5 amps. You have to apply over 1 amp to get ...

Great thread! I'm the guy that purchased the LS-76 from Dylan last year and have it installed here in Los Angeles. Len was instrumental in getting this thing up and running. We are using SX68/74 heads on a custom fabricated mount (designed by Len) and Neumann VG66 racks. I also have a AM-32B. I am v...

Have you asked the plant for the lacquers back for inspection? Were all of these job done at the same plant?
