Re: TEST CUTTING COMPARISON
Sounds very similar on laptop PC speakers. I don't normally respond to people who call a record a "vinyl" but I'll bite.... what did you cut it with?

Neumann SP272 Mastering Console Manual Available
Just found an original SP272 instruction manual with schematics.
It's already scanned so send me a message if you need a copy in PDF.
I'm always looking for any VG66 schematics.

Re: Relief graphic on blank vinyl side
I would think you could get your design cut into a self adhesive vinyl sheet, stick it onto a lacquer disc and plate it. This assumes the silver spray will adhere to the vinyl sticker.
Anyone who makes stampers can do this if they don't mind some experimentation.

Re: Lathes in Jamaica
Arrows Recording Studio did indeed have a Presto 8DGV as well as a Scully fitted with Vinylium's very first Pitch system. It's all gone now. A number for VMS70s came out of Jamaica as well as a Presto from the other side of the island. I would say the only VMS70 left there is the one at Tuff Gong wh...

Re: Any small run pressing plants in the USA?
5,000 is not the maximum that overseas plants will handle. Please stop with the misinformation.

Re: Any small run pressing plants in the USA?
Plants like Musicol and Palomino have been pressing ultra small runs for decades. To suggest the smallest pressing run is 5,000 units seems a little odd.

Re: PVC Recycling
Looks neat. Is that steel plate the disc sits on oxidised??
Next step is to tilt it back by 45 degrees and install an actuator at the back to stop the record at the punch position. Once punched and the actuator releases, the the record falls into a waste bin.

Re: Puck weight?
Dual screw extruders are useful when using dry blend rather than pellets as they mix the dry blend into a homogenous mix. If you’re using pellets, there’s probably no real advantage. In any case, the size of the puck is determined by the extrusion time. You want to extrude a puck in less than thirty...

Re: Cleaning metalwork,mothers and stampers..
The traditional lo-tech method is to put the matrice on the turntable of the rinse sink and brush it with a soap solution using a camel hair brush. The hi-tech method as used by the CD industry is to use a cathodic electro-chemical process to clean the nickel part which is connected to the negative ...

Re: PVC Recycling
Lee, the idea of magnetic sifter suggested above is to catch any metallic impurities,
These can come from the blades in the granulator chipping so don't granulate pucks.

Re: PVC Recycling
Take it straight from the flash bin to the granulator and add in 30% re-grind to the virgin pellets. PVC dust and PVC chunks… it’s all the same.
Just don’t pick up flash off the floor. Once it’s on the floor, throw it away or sell it to the plastic recyclers.

Re: 14” lacquers for sale. Transco brand box of 25 sealed
They look to be about 30 years old. I have plenty of these in factory sealed boxes. I never imagined I could sell them for more than $1 per box. If some dumbass pays you more than $2 for the box, tell them I have some for sale too. Unfortunately they are unusable and your asking price represents ext...

Re: 4 track preview
That would take too long to prepare and then there's the point that JJ made. Add to that the different preview systems on different lathes that have a different delay time between preview and modulation. Easier to just have a tape machine with two playback heads.
