OK All We are now up and running
Did a lot of testing for the last week ten odd days
Today semi production
Running smoothly like a pressing plant should
Cannot afford the french champagne so will just have beers tonight
Lots of hard work behind this one Little things here and there to be attended to, these can wait
The Leneds are singing a nice Song, they are quite good singers I can sit in the office and hear the repetitive cycle Nice
Lovely indeed to smell fresh vinyl from the extruder again
3 machines ready to pump records out
2 x12"s 1 x 7" Up and running
Another 4 in some state of disrepair
Canibilised badly but recoverable It will take a while Lots of bits which wear out are gone off them
Well!
12''s look and are Fantastic from newish molds, medium weight, around the 140-150 grams
45's are also good medium weight
Is it going to pay Off?
Time will tell
Another one resurrected, saved from the scrap yard so as to serve the East Coast vinyl community
Thanks to all for the support and encouragement
Now where are all these orders???? And at fair prices please :lol:
Cheers
Chris

Hi Mossy,

hearty congratulations! Making something like this work is a very bodily experience. Now the trick is to make it work when you are not in place at the helm ..........
If you previous operations is something to go by, you can!

Best wishes,


Greybeard
