The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Any picture?

Hi all and Happy New Year! 1st of the year and i accidentally erase an embossed recording of my own. I was trying to fix a center label sticker using a small torch lighter and there it happened. All grooves just disappeared :-( Today i made some extended research , giving more tries on old (discarde...

100° is the groove geometry. Recording angle is set 90°-85° as shown on the instructions manual below. I mainly use myshank blanks and prepare only by using zippo lighter fluid. No heat or any lub at all. I tried lots of different angles of triangle tip focusing for the best results according to sou...

SOLD

Lot of offers (good&bad) but none triggered back then. Looked for stylus screw but was not lucky :-( so i was able only for audio test on air. Would like to sell it for 1500€ including a NOS short shank Sapphire cutting stylus. Shipping cost upon request. Paypal payment F/F prefered. IMG_20231006_15...

May I ask how you detect these data? Thank you!

I did measurements on my own Hara lathe!
There's a work in progress and soon will update with some upgrade mods

Thinking of selling my latest addition on my system , the Grampian BBC B1/A.G.U. I am recording using my Presto 1D (modified by Jesus I. Agnew ) which i am very familiar with but soon i will receive my Stereo cutting head by Agnew Analog . Main coil works (8ohm) , feedback coil is dead (reads infini...

SOLD!

Hi again! For sale an 500ohm cutting head ! I dont really know the brand or model. All i know is that it was attached on a Royce Senior lathe (i sold recently). Die Cast housing , Seems to be in original working condition , DC Resistance reads 262ohm . No further tests made as i have no amp with mat...

Sold!
Thanks anyone for the interest!

Just want to sell a Royce record lathe. Comes with three (3) feedscrews and its original manual. Can fit on any turntable and cut discs from 6" to 17" ! I was quick mounting it on my Rek-O-Kut Master Pro lathe just to ensure it works. (Check video please) Sure needs some cleaning and lube to ensure ...

To me it looks like something like VR is needed. ..also don't expect Souri Craftsmanship & SQ. When I found this forum like 6 years ago, some people back then were saying they gonna make a better machine and now in 2023 nobody has finished anything and on the other side you have Souri's machine who...

but still.. don't expect Souri prices.

..also don't expect Souri Craftsmanship & SQ . Jesus' products are simply superior.

Hope soon to get his stereophonic cutterhead..

Hi trolls!

Main coil reads 4ohm , infinity on Feedback coil so probably needs to be recoiled.
Any kind of info will be apreciated

Thanks

Ειναι σε λειτουργική κατασταση?
Is it in working condition?

They look to be about 30 years old. I have plenty of these in factory sealed boxes. I never imagined I could sell them for more than $1 per box. If some dumbass pays you more than $2 for the box, tell them I have some for sale too. Unfortunately they are unusable and your asking price represents ex...

After long time waiting for the EU conversion of my Hara baby-lathe , its finaly back to my hands! Curious about its performance , wanted to start cutting immediately but i didnt as i wanted to be sure at first that everything works as it should. First had to lubricate/grease carefully all moving pa...

Recently got a diamond stylus so i can try on both my Presto 1D and my Hara M180 lathe.
Still need to setup a vaccum kit for it. Hope soon to have this ready
