The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

sorry to be a complete noob but are you talking about cutting onto the non-play upper surface of a CDR? I had no idea that was possible... Hi: Yep. I've not done myself yet but that's the idea as I understand it. Hey! I'm on a learning curve here too. :) Seams to be many materials the folks cut on....

Hi:

Does anyone here know what the cabinet covering material is on Presto products. The material on both my K8 and 6N is the same. Any ideas as where to find something at least close to this?


Thanks

Hi Ampdoc:

My motor is a Bodine Type NYC-34 Number 1119004 1800 RPM

Sure would be great if you have one of these. As I was faced with having one made.

Sincere thanks

Hi Self-Lather:

I've been reading your posts of trials and tribulations. I wish you the best in getting the bugs out of your setup.

Thanks for the reply and info. I'll do some more searching around on this forum.

Hi everyone:

I see a lot of posts about using CDR for cutting. I have a question. What do you do about center hole size. Make an adaptor to fit the present size center or somehow cut the center hole larger and then use a 45 adaptor?

How are those involved in this doing it?

Thanks

Doug

Hi Amp Doc:

Just if your interested this is a Presto 87A. Not the model I'm looking for but I'd be interested if it turns out to be unmodified. Will have to see what the seller has to say about it.

Doug

Hi Amp Doc:

Thanks for the tip. I just emailed the seller as looking at the chassis picture it appears to have been modified to a different tube linup. I'm awaiting his reply.

Thanks again.

Doug

Hi Steve:

Thanks. I have talked to Gib no luck. He repaired the cutter and playback heads for me though.

Hi everyone:

Anyone have a idea or solution to replacing the drive tire on the K8? Mine is shrunken and hard and imparts lots of mechanical noise onto the recording. I've tried turning it inside out. Some help but not much.

Thanks

I just found this on the internet and was amazed to find intrest in this subject. This site has got my intrest up again. I have a Presto 6N that came from a small studio an aquaintance had in his home. I got it after he died nearly 20 years now I bet. Now I"m warmed to the subject of getting it runn...
