The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Here's some of the stuff I have: -Capps Vari-Pitch, full installation guide + schematics -Scully type 261-C variable feed unit schematic -Scully variable depth unit (transistorized) schematic, dated 11/3/60 -Scully carriage junction box schematic -Scully push-button panel schematic, S/N sub. 560 -Sc...

I'm just interested in what you're using. Mine is a synchronous motor (dual hysteresis motor) from Electronic Specialty Co. 9/1800 RPM, 115vac/60Hz, 0.95A. Driven by a Siemens Micromaster 410. The system came with a 230-115vac step-down transformer, huge beast. Since I'm stripping this thing down an...

I think I only have the pitch computer related stuff, but I'll have a look, there's a file full of brochures, too. I think I'll also list here what I have. One thing I've already been requested is the Scully pitch/depth system, and they're coming up.

I have a ton of papers and drawing that came along with my Scully. It's quite a bit of an effort to scan all of it, so let's try it the other way around:

Is there anything in particular you're missing?

I'll try to remember measure that for you tomorrow.

Not oppressed at all. Gathering the vinyl people together is a job well done, and I hope everyone remembers to donate something every now and then.

While waiting for that button to appear, just give us the paypal address and we'll push the button manually.

I'm ready to fund this site right now. Yearly fee would be fine for me.

Excellent news. I'm very seriously considering one for my Scully.

I'm interested. I think a Compudisc can be hooked on a Scully?

Nice indeed!

What kind of a lathe is this? Never seen one before.

I wish I had the time to come.

Just a thought from this morning: I don't remember anyone doing a "pitch sequencer" - a simple unit that would hold a number of different LPI settings in a row, each dialed on a separate pot. By pressing a button, the sequence would advance to the next LPI setting, which could mean a passage in a pa...

Wow, yesterday I just had a look at the seller's old Arcturus auction. Look like it has been parted.

Came across this one, perhaps you've seen it already.

Got mine today. Seems really good!

Damn, mine's not here yet. Probably stuck in the customs.

Why isn't this book attached to a heavy steel frame?

Just bought. Excellent!

I'll be bidding on one for sure, thanks for the info.
