Re: Adjusting the counterweight on Souri's Vinylrecorder
Thank you so much for your help! I haven't yet tried this out since I'm away from the machine for a while, but I'll do it first chance I get. Again, really appreciate your taking the time.

Re: Adjusting the counterweight on Souri's Vinylrecorder
This is the procedure I'm using: 1. Setup cutterhead parallel with blank. At this point I'm not paying attention to weight or stylus pressure - should I? They were just set the same as I was using previously. Do the counterweight and dashpot need to be at some kind of starting position while adjusti...

Re: Adjusting the counterweight on Souri's Vinylrecorder
Thanks again for responding. And sorry for the bad pic! I'll try to explain more clearly in a separate post. Again, I really appreciate your helping me through the most basic of basics. Hopefully this will also help other people out there in the same situation. First, I'm sorry but I had one silly q...

Re: Adjusting the counterweight on Souri's Vinylrecorder
Thanks so much for your reply, Handcut. This is really a great help and I'm super grateful! Just a couple of things - when you say to back off the dashpot until it has no effect on the lowered cutterhead, you mean that the stylus should float just above the blank disc when lowered, correct? Is rolli...

Re: Adjusting the counterweight on Souri's Vinylrecorder
Sorry to bump this thread again and I really apologize for this probably pretty basic question, but I unfortunately did not undergo Souri's training and as we all know he won't offer support to those who didn't buy directly from him. If there's anyone out there who could help me just to get this bas...

Re: Adjusting the counterweight on Souri's Vinylrecorder
I hope it's OK to bump this since I have a similar question and can't find a definitive answer despite multiple searches. I was told that you have to adjust the counterweight first, and that it should be around 40-45, and then after that you adjust the dashpot (usually starting 12-15). I understand ...

Re: Welcome, Newbies! Say Hi in this thread!
Hello all, My name is Jon. I've been an obsessive music nerd and record collector for most of my life, but I'm a complete and total newb to the world of cutting. I've been poking around the archives for a month or so now and it's been really eye-opening. I'll have the opportunity to start learning h...
