That's not actually a lathe in the cutting sense, it records onto a disk magnetically similar to tape - no actual cutting at all
and you have to have a special disk that I think can only be played back on this machine or a similar type you can't play the disk on a standard record player using a stylus.
Great sounding machine though - tube electronics and it has two heads one for playback and one for recording which you have to change depending on what you want to do and a separate eraser that wipes the disk when you want to record again!!

Yes, it's like a Brush "Mail-A-Voice" but with a pre-grooved disc ala the "Victor Home Recording" discs made of magnetic material. You just don't need the pre-grooved 'guide' disc that the Mail-A-Voice machine uses in this case.

Hey folks, I have a matsusho diskll FS it was working then the cutting arm stopped moving, any idea how to fix this problem? I hear the motors turning but it sounds like a gear came off track or something. Any help would be appreciated

Hi there!
I will soon receive a Disk Recorder oll AU70-17-C that seems the same machine as the Matsusho DiskII FS, but I can't find a user manual anywhere! Is there any troll who could please give me some directions on how to use It?
Also, I will need a female connector for this power input: https://preview.ibb.co/mELX1L/91-F99410-27-E7-4619-944-C-9837-FB7-F01-B3.jpg
Any idea on how to Google it (model name...)?
Best regards,
Fer

Depending where you are located you may need a transformer to match the power mains.

Hi Tony! I do have the transformer, I was asking only for the model of the two pin female connector I will need to match the power input in the pic, but I think I've found It: https://www.amazon.com/GX20-2-Aviation-Connector-aviation-connector/dp/B06XFCQCFK
