The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Thanks for the quick response mr . Opcode , I have some programming skills but about electronics and pics I'm totally ignorant ,The arduino was totally easy as entry level ( easy connection , in/out and programming ) , where to start ? its possible be pointed to a "how-to" of similar example or some...

Hi guys these days I make a rpm counter based on arduino. As many people say that type of pic's havent accurate timing ? in my experience with that i can say no turntable have the same spin time never .. whats the tolerance of that ? maybe im going mad and the system runs relatively well .... someon...

Ohhh. interesting , an eliptical stylus not necessarily be more sharpened than an conical stylus , [not ? ,] in that way a conical stylus is most desireable for me when testing cuts , if not jumps with the conical less with an eliptical , [not ?] in the other way , a eliptical stylus have better tra...

Low end ? distorted ? are you saturating some transformer ? Try to apply less input and more output ( if can doit @ the VRX.).

put another sheet (or simply other blank) under the one you gonna record , as the people do for Xray films and flexidisc-like mood.

Sorry , delete it , I cant edit it.

With capacitors its possible to change the Fi Cos in efficient way ? that interests me Mark.

Jaime Algersuari is a rich kid , he can press records at phonopress and at the moon if him daddy spends the check , now here in Spain all type of hard face bastards proclaiming be superDJs (as Nacho Vidal , Jaime Algersuari , Pablo Vaquerizo... ) they earn important money sums putting him fucking fa...

Don't kill the messenger so early.... WHAT STYLUS ARE YOU TRYNG ? WHAT BLANK ARE YOU TRYNG ? If the system works .... are you tryng to use something more sharpened as stylus ? , if you are embossing with inox tip (i.e) the groove can be cutted / embossed easily (more or less) , but the freedom move ...

Yes its labeled 5c , I try to use the K many times my 1C 15ohms and really i dont know if its mismatching impedance problem or what ... but the original k10 head achieve better results for me , if that "5C" (only rear side labeled) its a 8 ohms head i can explain that effect with my 1C. And I take t...

Hi Peter thanks , beginner error , I was very excited with this , and bought at ebay without thinking a lot about .... But , Im gonna take in care when start with my LD Lathe restoration ( that one at my avatar ) , the motor of the LD was be chaged by a Bodine , coz of that , really other one capsta...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Russco-Cue-Master-QRK-3-Speed-50-Hz-Motor-Capstan-/300638898472?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2 , I bought that for the babe , someone try it on a K in a country with 50 hz mains ? Project evolution gonna be posted here. Any suggestions , tips , and neurons will be appreciated. Tha...

Eyy ... thanx for the fast answer man , I don't know if pretty good , I only had material to test a few grooves ( thanks to Nickou for their remnants ) , seems ok , a bit noisy , but this is stylus related problem , the stylus source its unknow , really most of what I did its embossing with stylus t...

Hi guys , im planning to pass my K to diamond/PVC , some troll can (please) let me know if its reasonable ? The non centered path that the cutting arm do ... it have some issue that i need to take in care with diamonds ?


Thanks in advance
Mani

Hi guys... Reading this thread some questions comes to my mind .... If I decide to get the diamond on the K8 (k8 / k10 I dont know exactly ) ... there's no problem about the stylus advance route ? Explain As I see with the VR or the 6N , the stylus describes a linear path exactly from / to the tt ce...

OMG , absolutely nice...... I wanna do something like this for sure with my M-12 ... but really need to solve the head assembly problem , the mine is Astatic style , not vertical , i have this project a bit stopped coz of that , but see that is a really good piece os inspiration , thanks man to let ...

zHow juan knows the serial ? Is in the ebay ? Where pics where see the serial. At cutterheadrepair maybe can't give you this info coz maybe is ilegal depending on local laws. I think dietrich is an experienced cutter , and friendly here (but only the impression iget insome years of trolls ), i dont ...

I'm doing that with the 1C , and maybe im killing the head , compensating the 50/60 hz problem and cutting at 78 , y use + 25 pitch obtainig a 45 perfect pitch record , half speed cutting is -12 of pitch ? That means i get 2 times worst than the improvement of half speed compared to normal cutting ?...

Yes , absolutely as Kris says , if you plus the motor freq change maybe more , with the K10 using the 78 shaft , if i pitch up the audio +24.7 percent ive got a 45 rpm recorded and played with 50 hz machines , is more than 3 times than an usual tt pitch control .

Yes I'm in that too , can apply heat on a steel stylus ? and how do it ? , but represents that MSS steel stylus is for do cutting or embossing ? and most important , heat a stylus for emboss is senseless ? I'm embossing PVC with a Presto 1C on a 6N overhead , and the results are very very near of be...
