Looking to buy/trade for Presto and ROK parts
LOOKING FOR PARTS TRADES - I have a huge graveyard of parts for ROK and Presto lathes (plus other random stuff). But, i have way too many of some things and way too few of some other things. So if you need something I have too many of and you have something I have too few of to trade, let's swap! DM...

Re: Vinyl Record Pressing Plants The raise of the Pheonix and back to ashes?

Re: First Post - Starting out in the UK
Seems like i see mostly of MSS and LeDiscographie/Pierre Clement lathes pop up in europe/uk. I sell lathes and can usually be convinced to deliver and install them in the UK. Delivery is usually cheaper than shipping and paying import duties. All of my lathes are fully mechanically restored and read...

Re: PRESTO K-8 NEWBIE IN FLORIDA
Thanks for the plugs yall! Ryan, i can definitely help you get on the road, especially if the lathe was being used when you received it. But there are still a million variables about your machine, your setup, your experience level, etc etc etc that would take forever to fully discuss on the forum. A...

Re: $40 mystery lathe!
Yeah. He rewound a couple heads for me years ago, grounded the coils to the case or something so it smoked immediately after sending any audio through it (he only tests it by using it as a playback pickup, and doesnt run audio at all). I sent them back and he ignored my emails and calls for a year ...
