Done.

Contributions link isn't working.

That's what I thought, but I keep seeing plants using them.

Is wood a good substitute for aluminum cooling plates? I've seen a few pictures recently with people using wood and was curious about it.

Here's to that! Yes, thank you, everyone!

Thank you, both, very much. Wouldn't a saw produce a lot of shavings and dust?

The Speedex is what we're looking for! Being in the U.S. though, shipping would be expensive. I'll look into it. Thank you, again!

Thank you! I wonder how difficult it would be to make one.

Hello,

Does anyone know where, in the U.S., to get an automatic dinker to punch out labels on 12-inch records? P.M. me, if you prefer. Thank you for your help!

Call them. They just answered, so I'm guessing they're open for business.

Yes! Good jokes all around!

Heh-heh, this is funny.

Well done to them! They deserve it!

There are a lot of kids buying records and that's a good thing!

Their place looks great. Nice to see 'boro getting some good attention. Well done.

Haha! That's great!

Thanks for that! I've wondered this for a while now. In all of the videos I've seen of the Pheenix AD12, no one is using spacers. I was assuming they had a stack of rejects! Haha! Glad I was wrong!

That's a good write-up. To answer your question regarding spacer discs, as far as I know Toolex never did have such an option but perhaps others can chime in. Edit: Pheenix offers it as an option and the Germans make a spacer disc stacker for AD12, too. If everything is in order, you shouldn't real...

No affiliation. Just sharing a story I saw.

That's good to hear. It would be nice to have more than source though.

With the current increase in demand, is MDC able to keep up? Just curious if that is part of the bottleneck. It's still seems scary that there is only one source for lacquers.
