Hi J, assuming you're still popping up at the end of June will make sure you get one then.

For any Technics 1210 fans...
Thought a couple of people here might appreciate this fun little adaptation to a Technics deck for the on/off switch so that it can now accommodate 14" discs without the need for a huge stack of slip mats... Too much time on my hands evidently...

Cheers Misjah, had hoped it might be a widely known figure but will check with TKO.

Thickness of copper layer on DMM masters
For no other reason than curiosity, does anyone have a spec for the micron thickness of the copper layer on a DMM blank.
Apologies if this has been posted before, I had a quick skim and couldn't find anything.

Re: Engraving pen ? what tool are you using?
Curious what other people use. I use these, I do however dull the end a bit with some sandpaper before using them though so as they're not too scratchy and personally I can't distinguish from anyone elses scribing on lacquers. https://www.amazon.co.uk/QWORK-Tungsten-Engraving-Retractable-Ceramics/dp...

Re: Turntable for 14" lacquers/mothers
Cheap option is the Audio Technica ATLP5 - it will fit a 14" with no modification at all. If you shop around the vintage hifi world there are hundreds of transcription turntables that will accommodate a 14" disc without any modification too, it just might involve traipsing around a few hi-fi dealers...

Re: weird extruder problem,help
The sour smell you mentioned is Chlorine gas. Not very good for you. The texture, softness and smell all mean that the PVC is burning. Perhaps your thermometer is broken? I would suggest getting a meat thermometer that you can stick in the middle of the puck. They're always handy to have around the ...

Re: DMM disc oxidation
It's common practice for some plants to grow a very thin nickel film for storage to protect for this very reason.

Re: Anti slip serrations on 7" records
The "anti-slip ring" (or the so-called 'necklace') on 7" records during the heyday of record stackers was created by the stamper forming tool These ridges are therefore not on the record pressing mould - just the stampers. Once their used was phased out, you will see a raised ring around the outer ...

Anti slip serrations on 7" records
HI I was wondering if anyone had any photos or more info on the molds that would have had gripper ridges on them. (The bumps around the outside of labels on 45s to stop them slipping on stackable record players) Purely curious as I've never seen any stock footage or anything on them. 20200503_163326...

Re: Quality Checking Turntable
Not sure about those ones but this might be of interest. And I think one came up for sale on German ebay a while ago. "Automatic Tick Registration Machine" by Polygram
