Lathes

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.

Can you post better photos? Some of those are very blurry.

First picture - RCA 73B (not 78B)
Second picture - looks like a reel to reel unit/size 10 grey boot
Third picture - I see a motor and maybe a volume/control box
Fourth picture - Another RCA 73B painted sky blue
Fifth picture - looks like the drive mechanism out of a Fairchild
