The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Opcode and Dietrich I definitely agree- Keep in mind that the AL reads the CURRENT coming from the feedback circuit and operates consequentially. A deesser (physical or plugin) will read the content of the signal accordingly with the set parameters and will dynamically reduce the output level on tha...

The acceleration limiter is a great protection for the cutterhead but it can be a real track killer as well. We never turn it off; we usually monitor the cutterhead to check its behavior and if necessary, we set the correct eq settings in the transfer console in order to reduce its action. This 9 ti...

Opcode, except for the silvering booth talking about the bare equipment we could supply you with all you will need to set up a galvanic department. Baths, rectifiers, centerpunch, circular cutter, and btw Aussie forgot the backsander which you will effectively need. His list is anyway correct. You a...

Thanks Andy!

Is there a pic of the boiler room??

Labels will crack when the label area is not scratched. The ram speed is not so important for this specific issue. If the label has a mirror surface on its back, it will crack. If the scratched diameter is not wide enough, the same will happen. We do this job directly to the lacquer, before galvanic...

@ Andy: Mossy is around 60 Kg lighter than Alberto (here called "VO5") @ Mike: you are always welcome to visit us. In August we might be closed, say 2 weeks. The boiler is a pretty standard 1000 Kg/h accumulating boiler from the late 80's with a modern modulating burner which worths almost 10 times ...

Hi to all

We have recently done a cut+galv+pressing job for an emerging band, signed to a major. They supplied a 96 kHz master in files (double LP, so it was HUGE) due to a matter of "extra quality" the vinyl might have given. The guys are fresh young people, musicians, they had been told about this by the st...

Hey all I did fantastic cuts with the VR. And it's a great training if you then update to the VMS ... everything looks easier! And it is. Of course with a Neumann you can explore a much wider range of opportunities, because the machine allows you to do that. But with the VR you LEARN the basics of c...

Hey all
Megamike is fucking right
Italian Disco is the best
And there's more
Look @ Glen White's (Kano's singer) "World Groove" LP's credits
Who's the guitar player?
Mossy you will hate me for this! I converted from metal to funk...
But it was 2002...
Please don't kill me! Funk is good!

All received and thanks to all for the interest. Everyone has got his PM I think. @ Mossy: - yeah the entertainment is guaranteed by the people working in the factory. There's a funny forklift driver, and some neapolitan crap in there; then there is a funny man from Naples coming now and then and as...

Job offer: press operator We are looking for one press operator to be employed in our factory in Settala (MI). There are no particular required skills because he (or she) will be trained in the factory. A good knowledge of mechanics is anyway recommended. The job he/she will have to do is basically ...

He's alive and kicking ... Probably too busy to make a video?

I could give it a run during the Xmas holidays with 2 mirror stampers, white labels and ultra-smooth evenly heated surface (so perfect mirror without orange peel - we know how to do it) if someone wants to try. I am pretty doubtful about the results though. Extruded & pressed PVC is hard resistant m...

Hello

we sell about 5 tons regrinded black vinyl, clean and inspected from metal parts, and about 30 tons records already without sleeves ready to punch and regrind.

Price is interesting.

If interested anyone PM me,

OK I would like to put an end word about this topic - mainly as a contribution to the forum; stated that very few guys will take a real advantage out of it. I'm particularly referring to Alpha Toolex presses, so this might not be the same for Leneds or TTTs or other systems, anyway: All of us normal...

Still in operation. Main unit (lathe + eqs + heating), feedback cutterhead + control unit, vinyl optimizer, external motor, precision plate, adjusting tools, vacuum system, cutting amplifier, mixer, about 50 blanks and one spare stylus. Accessories (micrometer, tools for adjusting, fuses etc.) Inclu...

Hey Steady My advice if you really want to try: - buy a manual press with a pair decent moulds, the extruder and the trimmer, hydraulics, the steam generator and the cooling tower - find an appropriate vent oven for the labels - you will also need an air compressor but not that big - install the who...

Are you sure you are a DJ? Record Industry's records are very good and have extremely low noise because: - normally they use DMM technology, so they skip the silvering process; - they have the biggest plant in Europe so a) they make enough money to pay a serious quality control and a regular maintei...
