The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

...same seller...browse through "seller's other item". 10 pages of items for sale ... around 176 feedbacks... high quality products of any category at a bargain price... too good to be true. most ridiculous scam I've ever seen, hands down!

...there's another one up on ebay:

I own a 2nd hand one... Those machines are pretty simple to understand and operate, if someone has a basic idea of how the whole vinyl thing works. Of course it's a bit trial and error (errors can be expencive... new styluses etc). From my point of view it's really hard to burn the cutting head (at ...

...two more from France: http://www.ebay.de/itm/HARA-12-VINYL-RECORD-CUTTER-LATHE-Graveur-Disques-Vinyles-not-Presto-Neumann-/262440050396?hash=item3d1aa55edc:g:LxwAAOSwh-1W6Vex http://www.ebay.de/itm/ATOM-7-VINYL-RECORD-CUTTER-LATHE-Graveur-Vinyles-VANROCK-not-Presto-Neumann-/262440049816?hash=item...

Congrats on that really nice and clean looking machine!! Did you buy it via jauce or buyjapon, or were you lucky to get in contact with the seller?

Cheers

Hey Mossboss, thanks for the advice. I mentioned that in the first post, too. It's just that I've seen this lathe for the first time on the internet and if it went for 800€ a year ago it was definetely a bargain. Due to it looks like a solid built I was wondering if that ain't a lathe to search for....

...there's a Telefunken up on ebay now. but 2 1/2 grand for a machine that's not running and has known issues like a wacky motor etc... way too expencive. Back to the Motosacoche... An estimate of 800 € is nothing I think. The mechanics look very solid. For me weight is not a problem, because I run ...

...got some records through jauce a while ago. was pretty easy. the communication between the buyer and jauce was very good. It's kind of an agency, where they'd buy the item for you, have it shipped to their office and then they'll send it to your place. I did send them a message about this lathe a...

...browsing the internet I stumbled over this: A record cutting lathe built by Swiss/French motorcycle company "Motosacoche". I'm very curious about this machine, due to it looks very solid. Now I wonder if anyone here ever heard, or even better used this device: http://www.the-saleroom.com/de-de/au...

...there's a Harara Model 805VA 12" mono Cutter up on yahoo Japan, which the outter asian world could buy via jauce.com or buyjapon.
Auction was extended several times. Here' it: http://www.jauce.com/auction/m133410005

yep... Great plugins for loudness, too. Just like brainworx and Waves (I've got quite a few bundles, due to I'm a reseller). Never used them for cutting, yet. Mainly because my setup doesn't use a computer at all. I'm all analog, except a DAT and a CD player. Still have a DAW for making music. Too m...

Hey James,

thanks for the link. Kirkwood seems to build exactly what I need!
Think I'll give it a try. I'll keep you all posted on the progress here.

Thanks again!

For those interested...sorting out the consumer level equipment on my vr t560, I'm now looking for a balanced riaa encoder. Signal is now processed via SPL M/S Master with Neumann W475 and Neumann W491 and optional Summit Audio TLA 50 connected to the Mid/Side Inserts. L+R uses a TL Audio 5013 param...

yep... myshank does a good job. highly recommended! really like the blanks (1,5mm). Looking forward to the new 2mm ones. ...would love to cut some pressed blanks, too, but I think I have to re-enable my rekokut lathe for that, due to there are just diamonds available for VRT560 (if I'm right?!?!). T...

Looks similar to a Neumann R21. Description says that the platter is unbalanced and needs work. 2700€ ...not a bargain imo.

...just like this one:

Knowing that it was a scam, I still had a funny email conversation with this guy.

...that sounds like a cool and senseful (side)project. :D I think it would cost me month to get it done, but it's definitely worth a try! If in a DAW environment... do you think the airband is satisfying when working in projects below 96kHz? I usually add those frequencies using my analog outboard. ...
