I love Gakken ! Got the wax cylinder recording n playback with a candle stick,mono synth,all very functional and educational to put together and mod friendly. These are usually sold at magazine n bookstores here in Asia. Toy ,yes but affordable by anyone ,they work n so cool to collect!

I just found an interview with the maker, i hope its gonna be on ebay within days

I bought one from Amazon Japan, arrived today.

I'm about to do an unboxing and I'll update you guys as to how fun it is (or is not!)

Price?

[rsimms3]

Originally $82 for regular version, about $100 for the Amazon version with more supplies. Listing on eBay from Japan at $212.

When I bought it from Japan it was ¥9480 - about £70 - cheap postage and no customs charge coming in

When i saw the information about this toy cutter first posted here: https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8570 i was super excited about getting one. After a few days i paid in full during the pre-order stage on amazon and forgot about it as it was a while until the issue was going to be delivered. A few days ago i checked my amazon account to find to my horror that the order has been cancelled. SAY WHAT NOW.
I did not not cancel any orders unbelievable

I'm pretty sure they/someone still charged my card for the payment though so i will have to look into that, seeing as I'm getting nothing for my payment. What a joke

Took a little longer than I anticipated but here is a link to some photos and a video of my first cut and playback. Need to play around with the tension and work out how to stop it swafting under itself. The instructions simply say ‘collect at end of recording’

Definitely feels cheap but it costs £70 including 20 blanks so you can’t really complain. Really good fun building it from the components! Something I normally shy away from.

Looks really cool! Is it 7" or smaller? To me looks smaller than 7".
Best,

From what I've read, it cuts 5" blanks, but the playback tonearm can accommodate 7". Definitely a niche toy, but I'll be keeping my eyes open for the wider release.
