Help with New Lathe

[Boydie]

Hi Guys

I'm looking for help with my lathe, hoping its something simple I've missed.

I can help from the person that sold me the lathe but he's mega busy so any advice would be excellent

I can hear the track via the head and touching the stylus with a screwdriver I can feel the vibration, however all I seem to produce is noise, it actually sounds as if its recording the sound of itself cutting the disc, I don't have a microscope, just wonder if it's a heat issue etc, I don't have much heat on the disc at the moment and I'm testing with a dub plate

Could be the cutting needle?
Is it fresh and installed probably?
Is yr head positioned correctly?
weight/depth correct etc.?

sounds like it could be these...

cheers

Turned up the volume and added a weight to the head, something playing back

Still mushed up and too bassy

Has inverse RIAA been applied?

is it an old cutter? Decayed or damaged damping material? I don't actually know what the results would be if damping material was damaged, but it's something to check out.

I think it might be the head, I'll make a video to show you
