RCA Overhead for sale

Here's a working RCA overhead with cutting head $2,800. There's interesting history on this overhead that I would be happy to share privately. I've mounted it on a variety of platters including Presto 6N (like the famous Sun Studios photo). I've used this overhead for over a decade as an amateur wit...

Re: Looking for center spindle clamp

Re: Looking for center spindle clamp

I like SoulBears recommendation, I ordered the Michell clamp but my spindle on the SP10 is too short and the Michell clamp does not grab.

Re: Looking for center spindle clamp

Well yes I sent email when I visited the website. My other option would be to tap the center spindle or have it modified (replaced) with a threaded part. Anyone doing this? Its for a sp10.

Agnew Analog product looks great, but there is no price and no link to buy on the website.

Re: What type of lathe is this??

I'm not sure of the type, but I might have one of those in storage. It might be a Federal Recorder judging by the tweed cab pattern and the overhead shape.

Re: Mono Cutterhead Repair

Re: Mono Cutterhead Repair

Just got the word that my Presto 1D heads are ready for shipment after total overhaul. Todd's work looks clean and detail oriented. I'm stoked!

He sent me this video of testing the heads:

Speed accuracy on unknown turntable

Speed test on unknown turntable. The platter is 25 pounds, over 16 inches diameter.
