From all my reading and searching I've not been able to answer these specific questions regarding a Presto K-8 that I've been offered (for a good price).
The unit is in great condition, has it's original cutting head and decent amp 45 tubes.
1. Would I be able to cut onto Lexan/PVC with this head provided if it was fitted with the correct stylus?
If so, what stylus would you suggest (eg. Vinylinum diamond? Adamant ruby??)
2. If required, what's the best method of heating the stylus coil?
3. Is there any way to cut a lead-in/out groove on the Presto K-8?
4. What's the typical freq. response I can expect from the cuts?
OK - I think that's everything for now!
Sorry for the multiple questions but this would be my first leap into to the Lathe Troll's kingdom and I'd like to know I'm buying the right machine for my purposes!

Primarily, I'm looking to cut 78 rpm discs for my Jukebox.
Thanks in advance!
