UNIVERSAL RECORDER - PROFESSIONAL
Hi there,
I have with the help of a few friends restored a UNIVERSAL PRO RECORDER
I can't find any supporting documentation so it was quite the puzzle to get back together.
I am hoping to get the Grampian type B mono cutting head reconditioned.
I missed out on a Gotham Mono amplifier recently so im interested in finding a good match for it in future.
Any assistance or direction on finding out more about this unit - very welcome!
Cheers

that lathe is on the cover of the Robert K Morrison book, "Disk Recording 1930-1960"
he talks, mostly anecdotally about it's use and function

Yes. however the one on the cover i note is not that same as mine... seen a few but they have different lathe bases, and the flywheel/motor config is different. i havent found any accurate images or manuals of my model yet!tragwag wrote:that lathe is on the cover of the Robert K Morrison book, "Disk Recording 1930-1960"

No sorry my guess is 40-50's - i know from the emi laquers preserved with the lathe that it was used for recording the horse racing back in the day - i presume they would take the discs and replay them on radio...pellegrino707 wrote:it looks really amazing!

the motor is certainly different.
