The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Can anyone tell me something about this recordcutter (see photo)
I bought it today and it must be a german brand

In the late 60's thru the mid 80's was here a few kilometers from me ago, a real big pressing plant. The owner was Johnny Hoes from Telstar , Killroy label. In the mid 80's when the cd's are coming up they sold the complete pressing plant. The label are still there but only for recording somethings....

Does anyone knows where i can get 40 x 12" black pvc blank?

Thank you

i let a few years ago pressed 250 pvc 7'' blanks at record industries here in the netherlands, they can also pressed 12''

i used a mechanism from a seeburg jukebox with a frequency control

i been looking for the pinch rollers for a Studer A 827 2''.
there are 4 pieces stacked , and i need them al 4.

thanks Chris for te information. the technical hints you give me about volt-ohm-ampere i'm understand, i'm 30 years repairing jukeboxes, ( about 12 years i have my own company) incl tube and transistor amplifiers. but the technic about record cutting are new for me, in so far, i have a lot of techni...

isolated resistor wire , are it possible to work with this?

i don't know what the temperature are for a normal stylus heating.

i have for my old mono lathe some stellite stylus.
how can i heat them.
the shank of the stylus are conductive, so when i turn some heating wire around that i made a short circuit.
anyone sugestions?

i goes for the spring loaded version.

but yet i got another problem, a dashpot, where i find something?

that rec-o-cut lathe.
i gote the same here wich i buyed a year of 12 ago on ebay.
i recapped the amp and set it on 45 rpm.
machine works nice.

i have starting with building a lathe 10 years ago, only for fun. a year of 6 ago i was so far that i could cut a record, ( the lathe was not complete ready, but a test cut are possible ). a good sounding ( not perfect ) was the result. 6 years after that i did nothing more on the lathe. and a coupl...

how do i set the advanced ball for the cutting depth on my westrex 3d?
so i said in the another topic i building self a lathe, and i must adjust everything.
how much pressure must the stylus have?

are a self made. its a overhead lathe, what becomes the westrex 3DII head what i have for about a year of 10. it used for the platter motor a carriage from a seeburg jukebox what have a gear set for 33 rpm on 50 hz ( i'm living in the netherlands ) and i'm using a frequency regulator to get the spee...

i understand the schematic , but the inputs T+ and T- what do they mean with that?

have any one the schematic of flo's pitch control? the only schematics i have are from the westrex cutting amp's further i have no schematics. it would be nice when i can use a automatic pitch control on it in the future. i know that souri have also a automatic pitch control for the machines he made...

i have a question about the pitch control that are on some lathe's that are monitoring the music a half of a rotation.
how does this work, and have someone a schematic from this?

i will used it on the lathe that i'm building yet with a westrex 3DIIH head on it.
