SX15
Hey, if it pays to buy the SX15 head?

hmm there is no information about sx15 in Larry's book, do anyone have more specs on it ?

need to try again than ! and what about horns ? that is my main problem when embossing (

hi ! you cut regular sheets like makrolon or lexan ?
how much you can cut before your styli wearing out ?
just curious, mine lasts in no time (

I see )
I think Technics 1210 must works than !

yep, I also waste my money by small portions, not in one time ))
ROK overheads are most lightweight, so with 1210 it can work, on stress, but works
but you need like new one, check platter twice to have no runout...

on cheap DD turntables platter usually fixed very poor ...

I waste a lot of time with mine TR43, even with restored idlers it has lot of rumble. I waste a lot of time with Vextax DD turntable I waste a lot of time with modified SP-1210 So finally after year of trying, I've back to the first tip that I get here : Technics SP-10mk2 So if you don't want experi...

Sometimes when do major changing in setup. But it is not installed on lathe, so not so frequently

Okay, this one is done. Will keep it if someone can polish it back.

But finally, what runout is useful, what precision I must to get ?

nope, yours still on the way
it is dead ?
0.2mm of runout is useful ?
can't get less for now tried different rubber sheets for platter mat, this is better result I have ...

Hi Trolls ! Last year I done lot of improvements on my lathe. And finally machine 320 to Grampian adapter and started experimenting with cutting ! I always surprised how precise must be adjusted everything, and my home more and more comes to laboratory look. And I always surprised how big is my wife...

OMG !
BTW it will not work with correct speed with 230V converter...

just

thank you f.l.o. !

Finally I done with A, just it was easiest way... I use big air pump, that moves about 100 litres of air per hour, with a small modification. It is not so quiet as I suppose, and now my room humming in around 40db )) But it works great with polycarbonate! But won't with PET, thats strange. Thanks fo...

hey hey ! I'm done with vinylike's diamond on my R-O-K M-12 Of course I've no dashpot yet, but would like to have. Do anyone saw small dampers that can be used somewhere? This is first time when I heard about that oscillations :lol: so I'm lucky and still not understand what is it I want to say that...

btw there is presented reference voltage, but can't find manual anywhere to understand how much it must be adjusted (on rear panel).
it shows about 6.2V on RMS, 6,6V on Peak, and 6 on Average.
but I'm not sure what scaling must be used for reference

nothing better than WD-40 for embossing sure

I'm in ! Thanks !

:) this double monster located in south of russia, own by my friend, one deck still works... btw likey offtop, but interesting machine - magnetic disc turntable МАГ-Д1 (MAG-D1). was made especially for military use, like fast recording and reproducing of Morse code messages... ps I'll try ask someon...

Great news ! Yes, please keep us informed when possible !
