The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

rickmcvick wrote:Still available?

Yeah they are still available.

I’m about to list them on reverb as well to try and move things along so holler at me

Everyone knows I love Fairchild equipment, I own quite a few of their lathes, amps, heads, etc. but these modules I have doubles of, and I just have to slim down. I'm asking $250 for the 653 expander and $200 for the 661 gate. Maybe $20 extra for shipping or i can bundle them together for a fair pri...

How doest it sound? Does it head good volume and stereo separation? Any Samples we can listen to?

dude its a mono head cant you tell

...It seems I would no longer be a productive musician if I owned a lathe due to costs, maintenance etc. Maybe time... Tell that to DJ Misjah, Dietrich Schoenemann, Quantic, ETC. All those guys are highly respected and accomplished, world touring musicians, yet still have tremendous skill at cuttin...

Yes exactly. I think what he is looking for is called a CD burner.

expect 5-10k depending on who you are dealing with

Anything made by Fairchild is worth the effort. Brilliant machines for mid-level / intermediate cutting techniques.

Though, interestingly enough, I have never heard of cook.

Any photos ?

She must be punished for destroying precious American heritage artifacts like this. I concur wholeheartedly and direct your attention to this eBay listing (and others in the same classification): https://www.ebay.com/itm/hairbrush-style-wooden-oak-paddle-brand-new/372162314477?hash=item56a69a40ed:g...

Wrong.

$5,000

It's all pretty much destroyed. The head was destroyed, amp destroyed and the cutting arm is actually bent out of place. Also my turntable and a master was destroyed. There are very few things salvageable from the mess. I have found a cutter I might be buying that needs a shit ton of work but doesn...

Look at price for getting a dub plate cut at a professional house. Get some kid who bought a presto k-8 last year to cut you a piece of lexan for $25. then get a dub plate cut by Richard Simpson for $100. Then tell me the difference in audio quality and playback quality. The kid with the K-8 is embo...

well you can find the cost of that treble limiter by ordering one from torben, i think they area available on the site, correct?

good look as usual mark, I have been looking to install a few of these, though the plugin you provided years back is good, I do it differently now

so wait will this encode the iriaa or riaa into the cut?

hi dave

nice job on the preamps.

do you mind spilling some info as to where you source those nice 19 inch rack cases? I make mine from recycled telecom components, but those are admittedly very nice cases.

Just imagine trying to run a niche market tape duplication service with ONE (70 year old) TAPE RECORDER, and pay the bills.

Then half your products jam when played back on a less-than-perfect tape player. (poly cuts are unreliable)

I think having a very wide hose would compensate for that? But we're talking high cost at that point...

Yes, trouble with the stylus was mostly user error and inexperience. I am unaware of the price of that machine.... Yes, but how did you get the one with the stylus falling out? Did it just show up on your front porch one day? ... considering scarcity, there really is no "price tag" to be given to t...

...I have the opportunity to buy a recently commissioned and operational Neumann VMS70, with the VG 74B amp rack,... I thought you were already cutting on one, having trouble with stylus falling out? My stylus keeps falling out of my cutter head. It's an Neumann SX 74 cutting head on a Neumann VG 7...
