Seeking pictures of Presto 6N w/vacuum & hot stylus

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.

Seeking pictures of Presto 6N w/vacuum & hot stylus

Trolls:

I have a Presto 6N with a Grampian cutterhead. I am beginning the process of finding or fabricating the hardware needed to heat the stylus and vacuum the thread. I would gladly buy these parts if I can find them. Otherwise I would like to see how others have accomplished these fuctions on a 6N. Can anyone help?

I have installed vacumn thread removal systems on several 6N's. I also have made an adapter to attach the wires from the hot stylus to the adapter mounted on the head. I could send you a set of "plans" on how I made it, along with some info on a vac system.
