presto k8 hooked up to rek-o-kut imperial questions!

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.

how can you change the cutting speed to 33 on a presto k8?
it is underneath the platter right?
also
is it true that you have to have seperate needles for each speed cutting:
one for 33,45, 78 ?
and
i just got a rek-o-kut imperial amp
i am trying to hook it up to my presto k8
on the back of the imperial are screw connections that say cutter - i am assuming this is where i need to connect the cutting stylus cords of the k8 to the imperial for the best sound rather than running out throught the stereo/monitor out. correct?
any and all help please.
thanks
mike
