Re: Looking for a record cutter for lacquer mastering

Only ONE copy was made before the label decided to scrap the vinyl release and instead of extra bonus songs, there are 4 songs that AREN'T on it! Talk about super duper rare! I hope someone else on here is as amoral as me.... Are those the hidden tracks? You rambling on about the mole people would ...

Are you speaking of tube from pump to chip jar or from chip to nozzle?

Re: Scully going rate?

I like the late Al Grundy's approach forget about the lathe history and buy it for what it's worth. Been sentimental over a machine, not for me. We have seen too much of that lately. There is some history behind that Scully but I think it's priced relevant to the market demands. Someone with their h...

Re: Scully going rate?

There is still one doing the rounds on Ebay.

It has been relisted. Be prepared to pay top dollar. Contact Len Horowitz if you are searching for a turnkey system.

Best Of luck in your search.

Re: Making a 12" lacquer

What is the mold going to grab onto if it's pressing a 12" record from a 12" stamper?

There is nothing for the stamper to be clamped in.

Re: presto 6n ratchet assembly problem

Hi Fela,

It should come apart with a bit of effort.

A good cleaning and re-grease of the ratchet solved the issue for me.

If you think of it this way. If you record analog, mix analog, master analog, cut analogue you have a certified AAA product (Some like AAA release).

Re: Arduino / automated cuttinghead

Am sure you could set a solenoid with a control voltage to drop the head. You will have to experiment with the timing. or you could use a delay circuit and relay to feed the solenoid... might be an easier option.
