vestax blanks

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.

They say they are the vinyl like ones....And I know the vestax uses a sapphire....

So anybody know about these vestax things?????

Yes i bought a pack,aren´t Vestax , they are of PVC more hard than Vinylike,so you have to cut with Diamond Stylus I detroyed a Sapphire one thinking that was the Vestax type.

Take care

I helped Hamilton to get all the real vestax blanks in the UK and also contacted all the other distributors for them - none.

HTFR are not real ones...

I told Vestax UK but they were not interested as they purchased stock in the past.

Oh well.
Happy to learn something new.
Wanted: Stylus for Presto, Mono heads Grampian, Fairchild, Presto, Fairchild 740 lathes, Presto 8n, 8d 8dg lathes or parts or Presto or wot ever recording Amps, PM me what you have for sale.
