BYER R-12 Cutter - Australian

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.

What do you guys think about this one? Anyone familiar with this brand? I know it is australian. Cuts from the inside out, I am thinking about purchasing this but I wanted to get some opinions first, seems like it could be a fun unit, the price is right.

Wow! Never heard of this brand before. Made in 1948 and it's still in the original box!

It is interesting, since it cuts from the inside out, I'll bet I could start cutting in the space where the label usually is. I know the cutter head can be replaced too; will keep us updated when the shipment arrives.

BSR is NOT to be Confused with BRS That is to say...Er.... Humm... Yes say.... Byer!!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:
Here's the Guts out of an earlier Byer BRS. It's been on and off Ebay for about the past 4 years, I would have had it long ago but the Price was imagined in GOOGOO GA GA LAND so not for me :roll: :roll:
