The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

thanks a lot!

hoping somebody here knows this. I am driving an old astatic 10ohm cutting head from an external 8 ohm amplifier. Seems to work fine, but would it better to make an amp that has exactly 10ohm impedance?

best

thanks for all the input! the research continues....

ok!

an idea: would it be possible to superimpose drawings upon audio? if the drawing is very shallow...

great stuff!

impressive!

hi yes - Denmark, homeland of the Lyrec (which by the way is short for "Lyngby Recorders" - Lyngby being the danish town where they were loacted)
I manged to take some better pictures - some of the items I don't even know what are, so any info some might have would be very helpful to me

Sorry for the crappy pictures!

I have found this Lyrec lathe called "Type AG 36-1 NR 4653"
and here google is not of much help - could this be some kind of custom job?
There is also an AG 40 turntable and two motors and heavy platters.

thanks a lot!
Ortofon would make sense since it's a danish company and this head comes from the dansih broadcasting cooperation. However google does not have a picture of Ortofon 501/502...

auch I see how the above could be "misunderstood"

well it's more a matter of asking here for what would be a reasonable price range
I have really no clue....

thanks, then it's mono for sure

this is the one I have

thanks alot
the screwhole in the middle looks similar and the rounded edges, but mine looks bigger judging form the pictures
also I wonder why there is no writing on it...

I have one lying around unused and was wondering what would be a realistic price to sell it for?
The web is not of much help....

btw: this is the only photo I have able to find of my unit on the web

What could this be?

It comes from the Danish National broadcasting cooperation.
There i absolutely no writing on it - maybe something custom made?
No idea even if it's stereo or mono but looks 'old'

thanks!
It it exactly the same clamp
ok so maybe it was more or less the same machine. However I can not find any info when I google "Poltz Freres"

Sorry, we couldn’t find that page
