Just found a website about an accoustic recording project. Seems some people are recording the really old fashioned way using large horns as microphones etc (pre electrical recording)

I just didn't know that sapphires could come in white.. I'm not a jeweler.. Yes they can ...

Re: Pictures of old lacquers
Yes indeed, this is the first time i have seen something other than my lathe that's made by M.S.S in the UK. It was run by Cecil Watts and he is credited with inventing the lacquer disc.subkontrabob wrote:I figured you people would enjoy these pictures:

At some point my cutter has obviously been rewound although it works it doesn't look like a very neat job. I'm thinking i could do it better myself! It is not uniformly wound Can anyone share t...

Japanes Lathes
The only Japanese lathe i've ever seen was made by Denon in 1953 and claims to be japans' first recording lathe.
Denon made high end turntables too, some of them used a lathe motor, presumably their own.

Polycarbonate Discs
Hi all, thanks to those that have shown interest. I chased up the supplier today because they hadn't got back to me, apparently they're "incredibly busy" should have the prices soon. But as an indicator....from my net research i think a sheet of 1.5mm will be about £180 and will make about 40 discs ...
