I want a thin 1U rack, but it has to be 2U... Pitch Controller parts comming, waiting for some more.. It´s a lot of things, just on bags! (someone who want to solder that 50 relays? :D) https://i.imgur.com/bry8lwG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/A7ukddY.jpg The final design gonna looks like this, this is a ...

Some "updates" from 23-05-2023: I dont know If I mention this (and some of you guys starting to ask), but the idea is to be "upgradable", So if you want to change it later to a feedback version, it will be possible, but, of corse, you had to bring it back the Head + console, as both are going to be ...

Where can this be ordered and what is the price.

Hi Bobabox, I already sent a pm!

Guys, only to know that I have only more 3 space for cutting head that I can do by the days I set in, the next one´s who asking for an order gonna have to wait a bit more... Discounts are over by now, As it had 4 days for my birthday, i´ll still giving the discount for these last 3 who came to close...

Some Updates as you guys starting to ask me: "it´s possible to make on a 19" rack version? Yes both console for cutterhead and the Pitch controller. Can be made in a entire metal box (20x6x20cm) or 1U 19 Rack mount. I think in make these 2 options, but maybe going to padronize one option, it´s a dre...

Looks great! Why don't you move it to classifieds section?

I even think about this one, but start to questioning myself where goes better, and can be mor easily viwed as a project/option

Sometimes the alignment of the drive coils in the air gap is the issue. Try loosening the bolts holding the drivers in the place and adjusting their position slightly. This will slightly move the drive coils relative to the air gap, so be careful and listen for an improvement in sound. Once it soun...

This is the second resonance not dealed, Think it´s only a filter for the first one (close to 1k, but I work in one that it´s between 800mhz). So all you had to do if you want make it better is: -Record a pink noise with a nice volume on a blank with both channels, L channel and R channel (dont let ...

Funny fact: if you use too much angle on a stylus, it will jump your head so high, that when it came back to your blank (because VR dashpot it´s like the same of nothing) and see the stylus broken and carving inside the blank, you going to know the real mean of the word "jumpscare"

here´s the thing:
When souri´s head reach the blank with the head in paralell, are you sure it reach a exatc 20 degrees fom the stylus?
It´s just a curiosity of mine, dont think I dont belive you or something like this!

A bunch of pictures more that I found (first version, the second version are more designed as the first post. And dont fool yourself: this Screws from heat wire is not like VR Head, the locks are fixed, so it´s just put the wire, screw and no worries about holding locks when try to screw the wires: ...

Thanks for all the DM reply´s, it´s really amazing to see that...
But, if you gyus cant receive any reply that I made since yesterday, please tell me, I made a feedback for each one of you.

When you make a test only on the 10,12k, It will still appearing that (closed to) 800hz ressonace. This is because this resonance came from mecanical parts and yes, almost part can appear anyway. it´s a resonance, so evetything you play going to show this one... Due to the plastic parts, something m...

Good point! hardware player / volume knob / cutter amp / cutter head Souri has replied saying cutter head killed, must return, but with the ohms reading perfect, audio cutting perfectly and no fuses blown, i still wonder if it is something else. One point, i cut a lot of records, so possibly just w...

wow, great looking work! Thants Trag, It´s not THAT state of art and it´s not a caruso (never gonna be, it´s another way, another project, another person, another research) but sounds nice (of course I post audios) and it´s a nice alternative for T560 and other lathes! When I talk about the volume ...

Any other suggestion? I use a Air Conditioner Compressor, silent, so I can use at the bottom of my desk, inside the studio, even make records in the middle of the night... I dont use a t560, so I dont know if that large tube going to take too much airflow, maybe had to make that hole mor tight, and...

Ok, let me try to start without too many ceremonies: Years ago, After a lot of troubles, scammers, pain and even starvation (some people here know what happen), I decide to make my own cutting lathe. It´s silent, not arduino controlled, buttons all timed controlled, silent suction thet can be used a...

dizzy me too looks like a video call is needed ..but I think it will do the job just need a head that fits in line with the centre point and the right weight ..wish I was there to help I think vice your on the right track with the micro switches ..you need to power up that overhead to move.. The ov...
