Alternative to transco 462 stylus? Can anyone help?

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.

You might look into this:

They made this one for me that has a flat. You can then use a Neuman 320 on your Preso 1D.
