The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

I’m selling a restored Rek-O-Kut Imperial (serial # 3-6921), mono Audax RH5 head, inputs have been updated to balanced 1/4” TRS and power chord updated to an IEC. Lathe is in great cosmetic shape, full working condition. Well cared for and maintained. Comes with 3 styli (2 vintage and 1 MyShank with...

Any chance you could pass these on?

I’d like to cut lacquers.

I believe it’s SHORT SHANK 5/8" OVER-ALL STYLUS LENGHT.

Is there anywhere to get a new stylus for an Audax RH5?

This may have been from green or wet lacquers… I stacked a couple boxes of lacquers on open spindles and let them air out for a few days and the problem has gone away…. For now…. lol

I’m having an issue with the right groove wall (outer) and it’s becoming fuzzy and grainy at times, it’s almost like it drifts in and out or comes and goes, I’ve replaced a bunch of styli (NSH-2S) and I’m getting no consistent results, increase/decrease heat doesn’t make much difference, unless I re...

Thanks.

I’m having a hard time getting a response from MyShank.

Hi,

Anyone have any Neumann 320 style Diamond styli? If you do, PM me please. Thank you.

I've spent a lot of time looking at and working the leaf switch, it appears to be functioning properly... I also checked the contacts on the connector cable you mentioned, everything contact is passing I talked to Chis Muth and he thinks it may be the right feedback coil in the cutting head, he sugg...

Hi Everyone, I've got a new issue with my rig today and I'm stumped..... Cutting on a Neumann VMS70/SX 74/VG 74 B When I lower my cutting head, the right channel on the amp rack drops into Over Load I recently lost my auto lift, after cleaning the contacts on the leaf spring in the head assembly it ...

^thank you! I did find some posts about labels, here's what I found in this forum. Matte Art Paper 120gsm. Standard offset ink. Do not use glossy paper. Avoid metallic colours Do not use "rubber based ink" or digital/laser printing -standard offset press ink, pantone variety- Thanks trolls! Here is ...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for information about label paper stock, what type of paper are you using? All local printers I've talked to are stumped, I know there are certain requirements due to the heat and pressure of the press as well as the baking required for drying the ink, but that's where my kn...

Hi everyone! I've been running a VMS 70 for a couple years now, it came with a few extra belts for the pitch computer. But now I need some new ones, both the long and short rubber drive belt in the pitch drive unit, where would I find these? Any leads would be great. Also, a few months ago the auto ...

Yes, trouble with the stylus was mostly user error and inexperience. I am unaware of the price of that machine. It's difficult to price out a machine like this, it's worth as much as anyone wants to pay for it, I understand that. I'd like to open the discussion and see what the community values thes...

Hi everyone,
I have the opportunity to buy a recently commissioned and operational Neumann VMS70, with the VG 74B amp rack, SX74 cutting head and Technics SP-02.
It is really hard to get a ballpark on a value for this machine, any input would be helpful.

Ok, so i pulled out the old voltage meter and found 1.23V.....
I've got it all sorted!
Cheers

When I send at "0"VU, the first adjustment on the "LL" control is fine, but when I send the out of phase signal to adjust my "v" at "0" the groove completely disappears in the narrowest point, even with its set completely clockwise (at any position for that matter) I have a feeling that my "0" VU mi...

I'm calibrating my program modules for my Neumann, I get it, it's fairly straight forward when you follow the manual. But the manual doesn't say what volume to send the 200htz at, sending at "0" would be over kill wouldn't it? Any recommendations?

I tried a new styli with no issues... Haven't had the problem since, it fell out a few times and I freaked out! lol, thanks for the tips!

Cheers
