The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Who is using what?
I am using medical grade 99.997 % pure as recomended 13years ago ,with no problems but i have noticed a few people using baloon gas which varies in purity,
Has anyone used both for a considerable time?
Thanks

Yes at album levels helium is not important,But after a while you will learn what to adhere to and what to use use as a guidline.These machines were never designed for the levels and sounds that they are cutting today.
Enjoy

Why are'nt you using helium?

Sorted

Diamond Black and Nelancy(I know Nelancy has the equipment and they are advertising as being open but i have no direct experience)

I make that figure more like five commercial pressing plants and a couple of small one man band operations.

Helium Gauge required
Anyone got a spare or a new source?
Thanks in advance

Hello Steve, I am not sure where you get your info from but i cut records for a living every day I started with an VMS 60 special and now use a VMS 70 One of the things that i have learned is ,once your lathe(Neumann) is set up correctly they run forever.There's probably more people in the world tha...

You could probably pick up a Neumann VMS 66 or 70 for not much more money,Whilst some of these table top lathes are better than others why bother when you can have a Neumann?.

I don’t think there is any conspiracy just p...

Does anyone know of a supply for some replacement crt tubes from a NTP scope model number 177 520C?
The tube is a Telefunken D3-11GJ.
It would be a shame to scrap them.

Do you know of any available (printed or electronic) service manuals for the latest Neumann cutting gear? We are interested in Neumann VMS-82, VMS-80, SAL-82 or SAL-84 service manuals and any other documentation or papers regarding these devices. Thanks a lot for any info or contact. George, Have y...

we also cut from digital sources without delay line. it's not quite advanced head cutting, but negates the use of the crappy a-d-a portion of even modern delay lines... two stereo channels out of sadie, one delayed, ie offset rather than delayed. the first is the control, the second is the program,...

That looks like my first lathe,recently sold mine was a 60special and had the same curved front.
