The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Continuation: Hopefully, you will see this screen, or something somewhat like it: 5.jpg HOWEVER!! In some of the languages, the software of the site has some misleading information which needs to be corrected, and because we are understaffed in the translation and programming department, you may see...

Here is an updated process for creating a Lathe Trolls account. First, CLICK "register" at the top of the site, near the far right. 1.gif You will see this page (below). 2.jpg You can change this page to your preferred language from a dropdown menu. This will change most or all of the navigation but...

Once again, sponsor page has been updated! Once again, let me know if I got anything wrong. Once again, thank you for all contributions for the fundraiser! I still need to follow up with some thank you emails. It is not too late to take part. We are still quite short of the goal of 16 2/3% participa...

I've updated it once again! Please check to make sure I got things right! It's all done manually and it wouldn't be hard to mess it up.

Thank all of you who have contributed so far.

I appreciate all who have contributed to the fundraiser so far. The "Our Sponsors" page has been updated to reflect all current contributors. (Let me know if I got anything wrong.) Thank you! It has made a big difference! Again, it's not too late to have yourself added to the list. We are at 59 cont...

Current sponsors as of this morning are thanked on the updated "Sponsor" page. I have not adequately tested all the links, so there may be errors here and there.

Again, it's not too late to join the party!

Thanks very much for the contributions so far!! They will be posted shortly.

Not too late to take part in the fundraiser.

Dear all, Sorry the site went down! I had set _some_ of my sites to renew manually, with a tech support person; and they set the primary domain to renew manually as well, which was NOT the plan—it should have been automatic. I woke up to several alarmed messages in my inbox. This has been fixed. App...

I'm posting this on behalf of Serg , who is having some trouble navigating the site while translating to and from Russian. My question is the following: In the Soviet Union in the 30s there was a popular magazine "Радиофронт", which described various designs of radio amateurs and enthusiasts, includ...

These go in the "Reference Archive", though it deserves a better name. I moved it there, but left a shortcut. Thank you!! Very cool!

The follow-up email I sent to members last week brought in some response-- support that was much needed, and is much appreciated. Please be assured that the sponsor page will be updated shortly. Thank you very much!

I happen to know there are plenty of you lurkers out there, too. You have accounts, but you don't log in (sometimes, never... yet you're here). We can use your support too. If you do have an account, please include your username in a memo in Paypal, so I can give you an appropriate tip of the hat on...

Yes, I know. The problems are back, along with new SSL certificate error messages. I've been on the phone with tech support for the past 70 minutes.

Thanks all for your contributions! I believe I have credited all sponsors thus far to the "Our Sponsors" page. Please check and make sure I listed you correctly, especially if you want your contribution of $45 or more to link outside of the Lathe Trolls site. I will follow up with a "thank you" emai...

Happy upcoming Record Store Day, USA! It will be Saturday, June 12, 2021:

Thanks to the 54 who have contributed so far to the current drive! You've been added to the Sponsors page. That's about 3% of the members of the site who have logged on since the start of 2020. Can we get participation in this drive up to 20%? Remember, even smaller contributions add up! If you are ...

https://www.lathetrolls.com/e-l-scott_phonautograph.jpg Dear Reader, If you are here, you are a probably a recent or longtime participant in The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls , the grassroots worldwide chat forum devoted to all aspects of record cutting and pressing, professional and experimental....

Update: I've spent countless hours on the phone with Bluehost over the past 5 or 6 weeks. The problem gets better, then worse again. Their technical support lines are excruciating, and feature 2 songs on endless repeat. The songs have not changed in years. They are assuring me that they are going to...

Hi All. The site was intermittently unavailable all morning. I'm just as frustrated with this situation as you are. I think it's time to move this board to a dedicated server on a different hosting site. This is going to be a major headache. For the record, I've been using Bluehost, and I've seeing ...
