Re: Gakken Toy Record Maker: Ovservations and Questions
You can't play records from the cutting head just with the tone arm. The cutting head is only for recording.

Re: Gakken Toy Record Maker: Ovservations and Questions
I figured out what the screw does. In the gakken kit there is a washer and I was wondering where that goes thanks.

I am not sure how the screw on the cutting arm is supposed to work to adjust the weight.

Re: Gakken Toy Record Maker: Ovservations and Questions
I bought one of those cartridges and I used one of the needles in the package and it fit the gakken so it is working again. The needle piece just snaps on the existing cartridge.

Re: Gakken Toy Record Maker: Ovservations and Questions
I found another source for replacement playback cartridges but not sure how to get the original out of the arm.

Re: Testing a cartridge to see if it works
Hi Lathe guys, This is Jerry here. I am the seller of the cutting needles on ebay for $10 and the Tungsten ones for $15. I have done well in the year and half of sales. However, I have other cutters that need cartridge replacement (old crystal cartridges). I had one replaced about a year or so ago ...

Re: Recording question
I can record on a cd it is loud but when I go to play back with a new play back needle the arm moves across the cd you have to hold it back slightly.

Re: Recording question
does it matter what side of the plate you cut onSteve E. wrote:Ah, so nice to get an update!!!!
Yes, absolutely, you have to cut the rim off the picnic plate, and cut or drill a hole in the middle.
I wonder why the CDs start skipping after a couple plays. I'm guessing the playback stylus wears out the grooves.

Re: Recording question
I tried recording on a cd and it worked. I recorded from the radio but you can only play it back once or twice before it starts skipping. I am going some solo plates. does it matter which side you record on and you probably have to cut off the rim of the plate? thanks

Re: Recording question
Im with todd, definitely use tape to hold it down. also, when trying to cut grooves onto a CD, I've done this: -you should be cutting the shiny side -depending on your lathe, either face of the stylus might be useful on my recordette I could get some results with the regular stylus face, and also w...

Recording question
I got my cartridge back from gib and it works fine it plays nice. I am trying to record on cd does it matter which side and I took a 5-16 nut and drilled it out to fit the spindle and it fits right in the cd hole but the cd slips on the turntable.

Update on cartridge
A friend tried to repair my recordette cartridge but it did not work on my machine so I am sending it to Gib. The radio works and the turntable spins and I probably have to replace the mike on it.

Re: Wilcox gay head
The recordettes were made in the 50's because some of them had 45 speed also.
