The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

I would bet it's a short shank based on the size of the head but I'm totally guessing. Unless their prices went up they're usually around $90 USD

Got a motor with the capstan on it, might still be interested in a 33/45 if you get around to it mark

Got it sorted, presto 6n number three added to the studio now. Just need an amp and a couple other bits and pieces and I'm ready to roll.

I'll post up pics of the resurrection soon

Anyone know how to replace the power cord on a Bodine?

I received a 6N plinth today with the platter and motor to go with my extra cutting arm and need to put a new cord on the motor.

Any help is appreciated, I did a quick search and came up empty

Sounding positive jay!

If you get them fully functioning and easy to install I might take you up on three of em

Hey mark

Have you tried making a puck instead of using the grinded bits? I wonder if it would work better that way?

Regardless sweet job again as always!

I still love you and your posts mossypoo

Both Leola's in Omaha and Homer's in Lincoln have closed down. There's still Recycled Sounds and Backtrack in Lincoln and Antiquarium, Drastic Plastic, Homer's and Record Benders open here in Omaha. A few other shops sell records too but those are the main ones left

Hey Mark Alan Graves told me if you use a long enough bolt you can screw down the center of the shaft and the capstan will just come off. I haven't tried but I figure he's the man when it comes to presto machines so he would know. Let me know how much you want for the trouble, if the price is right ...

Question is are they the right size so as to have the correct pitch

I'm working on getting lathe three going and need a capstan for the motor.

Anyone know of a loose one lingering around or can make one for me, please let me know

Thanks guys!

Huge Nick Cave fan. Still lack to own a copy of Door Door by Boys Next Door on vinyl, just can't ever seem to find one whilst digging

I only handle polycarbonate blanks but Fraggle or Dietrich can help with the actual PVC records.

You might try combing the used dance 12" bins and look for one sided pressed records to practice on

I bid on the blanks and got snuffed by $2, dammit! Also bid on the feedback head and lost tremendously

question for everyone i buy old recorded acetates at thrift stores or garage sales all the time just to check out what people have recorded from the past and sometimes i run into some that have almost like a waxy film on them. anyone know how to get this off to preserve the grooves so you can actual...

Kinda makes me wish I got some 7" blanks now

Nice work B!

Tommie Get down the pharmacy buy a small container of Castor Oil (don't drink it OK! Unless of course you are constipated Ha ) give them a good coating with a lump of cotton wool both sides In a standard Apollo lacquer box cut a potato in say 4 pieces and place them in the edges of the box at the c...

never had a chance to cut sound, i only did silent test cuts myself.. I ordered a poly cut from one of the places offering the service, just to check the quality of what people are selling. Sounds like an old record, hiss and pops equivalent to some of the old dusty records from the 60-70's that ar...

Be very careful with heating your stylus when cutting dried out acetates. One bit of the fluffy chip coming off and getting stuck on your stylus is all it takes for some smoke to puff out and possibly start a fire. No fun, I've had the puff of smoke happen two times trying old acetates and now I jus...
