Re: Project : Diamond stylus for lacquers

There was a Japanese patent on the diamond stylus for lacquer. Do a search for it. If I remember rightly it had a .0001 gold wire embedded at the back in contact with the lacquer to ground the static electricity generated to ground.

Re: LATHE FOR CUTTING MASTERS?

How about you do a little homework Ask around the places that do produce vinyl what machine they use. That will set you in the right path.

Re: Powering up and down equipment

Capacitors as a rule either work or they don't. A dry capacitor will most likely pop its guts out. If Older electrolytic they are better of if they are on, non polarised caps ether work or do not.
