Yep, that weird fabric flat band... I wasn't able to find it anywhere! A 35mm square rubber will work: https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8429

Picnic plates
Hi!
I've been searching for good picnic plates but the brands some trolls have posted about (Safeway, Solo, etc.) are not available in Spain.
Could you please point me to good picnic plates available in Europe to buy online (Amazon, eBay, etc.)?
Best regards,
Fer

Re: Vanrock Cutting Problem- Trouble with Highs and Lows
Hi, I've been trying to check the frequency response of my ATOM: I've embossed a frequency log sweep from 500Hz to 14000Hz, then I've played it back through a USB turntable to my computer. Then I've played the resulting WAV in my DAW with a freq response plugin. I don't know if the resulting graph i...

Re: Advise on runout / levelling platter
Hi again, My ATOM does still have some wobble/runout in each platter turn. It seems to be not very audible when embossing with a carbide stylus from, but I am afraid it could be more noticeable if using a better embossing stylus (piaptk's sapphires); or if using a cutting stylus, because of the dept...

Hi Steve,
I found Rock'n'Roll the most readable theme, but the Prosilver Special Edition option could be the less traumatic

Re: RIAA CURVE
If I can revive an old thread just to confirm something that seems obvious to me - in order to run a power amp, you need a preamp, yes? Is this where the mixer is coming into play? I want to run the same sort of set up as JayDC and use my computer as the source, essentially using that to "master" w...

Re: vanrock cutter for repair
FYI I've finally cleaned the old grease and then applied lithium grease. I've also applied a drop of sewing machine oil in some noisy pulleys. Seems to work better now!

Advise on runout / levelling platter
Dear fellow trolls,
My ATOM A101 has a noticeable (both visually and audible) runout. Does anybody know how to get rid of it? Should I adjust the screws in the image to fix it?

Hi all. Bought a Vanrock and I've been lurking on the boards, this site has been a tremendous resource. Made leaps and bounds over the last few weeks, I've been cutting polycarb by hand and seeing a man about a CNC'ing some discs tomorrow. Cutting Polycarbonate with a tungsten needle or a stainless...

Re: Vanrock and embossing
Hi again! Is there an ATOM / Vanrock user who can tell me how much a long shank needle protrudes when it is fully inserted? I think I have height/weight problems with my ATOM: 1) maybe there is something obstructing the hole where the needle is inserted, so it cannot enter completely. In fact, I hav...

Hi, fellow trolls! :D The weight spring of my ATOM seems to do nothing. If I turn the weight control left or right, it doesn't matter: the total weight when I gently lean the needle on my digital scale is always the same (159 gr.) Do you know how to reach the spring? Is it very difficult to change o...

Hi! I've got no luck with the bunch of flat belts I've purchased for my Atom.

Thank you! :) Fer Which belt are...
