Re: Lathe building project

Wow! Looks Fabulous! Is that an Arduino Mega that you are controlling your stepper motors with? I've been exploring the Arduino world and have some UNO's on order to play with.

LK-1 Audionics of Oregon

Wanted to share some pics of the rare find from an estate sale recently. It's an LK-1 turntable from Audionics of Oregon. It has a Signet XK50 tonearm which alone was worth the $80 I paid for it. I believe it's the same as the Audio Technica AT-1000. The power plug and feet were missing and the meta...

It's World Radio History, there is a great section for Audio Engineers publications that is quite extensive. Really great ...

Re: Interested in cutting lathe. I don’t know where to start

Hi Spiff, I'm learning too. The easiest route into cutting on a low budget I have found is starting out with a mono cutter to get familiar with the process. I have gone the route of portable Japanese cutters from the 80's. I started out with a Hara M-180 which I miraculously found for $20 as a junk ...

I have not tried one yet, but this one appears to be sound. Very simple to use from what I can tell. https://www.escrow.com/ There were some others ...

Hara HF-200 Idler wheel repair

Hello Everybody, I recently acquired a Hara HF-200 and while I'm relieved and happy that it rotates, head tracks and audio is AOK. It had a "thump, thump" in the rotation. 11ce263.png So I removed the head assembly and pulled the platter to find the idler wheel has a flat spot on it. About 2mm long ...

Looking for Hara M-180 Manual

Hello Lathe Trolls,

I recently acquired a Hara M-180. I was hoping to find an operation manual for it. It's a fairly simple unit, but I want to make sure I know how to use it properly.

Thanks for your help...
