Bought a Bell rc 47 from ebay

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Bought a Bell rc 47 from ebay

I finally got a lathe a bell rc 47 from ebay but it needs work. I replaced the power cord and it powers on and the turntable spins. I put the selecter on one setting I can't see the settings and I get static when I touch the 2 wires on the play back arm so it needs a needle but I tried the other settings and I tapped the recording arm and i get no sound. That arm has no cutting needle and the wires are all shielded so touching them does not do any thing. How does the head come off so I can touch the ends to see if I get static out of that function of the player. It also came with a microphone thanks
