Re: Universal Record Lathe - eBay

Good eye Soulbear, you are correct where is that thread listed? I cannot seem to find it... I was always under the impression, that photograph was taken inside of RCA, I wonder why they would not be using RCA lathes as well?

Re: Universal Record Lathe - eBay

i know where one of these is being hoarded...the design always reminded me of a scully meets a singer sewing machine. it looks amazing, i imagine it may even perform quite well.

Re: Acetate Masters.
