The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

well that looks like a neumann bearing with spring. is one of the ends engaged to the bottom cylinder and the other to the top plate?. whats the interaction like of the two like? before doing anything, put together the lathe and start cutting. you might not need to put oil at all for now. leo Sent f...

reading the article on this now and it says that they have bought the presses they once owned...". they dont "quote" Discmakers CEO's words though. Seems like a off the record statement.. Either the journalist has a great imagination or perhaps no more than desperate attempt from the ceo to save the...

ok, and i think we can confirm here too that discmakers here in ny/nj is also a broker

aussie, im pretty sure you could add scully to the list of cutting tape machines. i think there are a few members here that have analog preview systems made by scully. i think there was one sold recently to a member of the forum. not sure who though. also, im not entirely sure but i think scullys ne...

pic of a scully 280 with preview and advance pots. i only see one head on it though.

Actually, looks like Precision Mastering in California also has or had a 102 with a preview head mounted on a board fitted on the left side of the transport. According to his owner they had it before Sterling Sound did . They also had "tube" repro cards.

hi john, ive done parallel groove on vms-80 running on fixed pitch but never joined grooves like that. you have to have your eyes glued to the microscope and follow the groove and lift head when it reaches the adjacent groove. my trick is to hold the head with the thumb when head drops at the lead i...

nice. looks great.

For a belt driven scully, a regular cargo van will cope well but loading it / getting it off can be very dangerous if you dont have a good ramp. plywood boards and dolly as ramp can be risky. you can put casters / wheels on the legs if you can find 4 that match the thread and size of the legs. if no...

giordano,
it might be just a coincidence that flo posted this around this date.

anyway, seller is legit. just pm him.

yes, if not motor doesnt sync. but If one the coils is in bad shape or a bit worn out, then its going to be difficult to get same values independently from how close to 120 is that phase. I dont think the current value depends on the phase value (phill collins?) relationship between the coils. I had...

why do you want to change the caps?

alsothe coils also do age as well and phase alignment becomes irrelevant...

i think 20mfd is the start cap value. 10-12 i think should be fine for american Voltage and freq.
