The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Thank you ameisevinyl for the AES info., i'll check it out. The Morrison book is good reading and has great pics. Somone here in the group is selling it for $30 incl. shipping. Just look at the older posts in this section of the group, Rick.

Hi Tom, I'll have to trace out the wiring to see how to connect it as everything connects thru that Jones plug. Would they have ran 120v thru that along with everything else? There are also two 1/4" jacks on the left side (one directly in the motor board and the other inside that metal collar which ...

Hi All, Here's links to the inside pics of this lathe. I looked at the motor and can't find an info. plate....not sure if it has brushes or not. Hopefully, someone can tell from the pics. The smaller can in the pics is the hours meter, not the motor. Thank you, Rick. http://i81.photobucket.com/album...

Hi Steve and all here :) I have been here for about 1 week and just realized that I never introduced myself. I got so excited about this forum, that I just "dug in"! (i'm the one with that unknown antique Paramount lathe). Anyway, i'm Rick Force, 48, from Ontario, Cal. (the "other" Ontario). I work ...

Hi All,
Are there any good books on record cutting (techniques/ how to's)? I just bought the new Robert Morrison book, but was looking for something more in the application of cutting, not so much history. I'll need title and auther to look up in book stores. Thank you, Rick.

Hi all, Here are the links to better pics. That string on the cutter assy. was for shipping. Hope someone can identify who made this. Any thoughts would be great as well. Thank you, Rick. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j212/flashbk13/Lathe/latheside.jpg http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j212/flas...

Hi Tom and Cuttercollector, Thank you for the info. This has the motor (very large, don't know if its DC or AC). It drives the flywheel. The cord and pully system drives the over head lathe. No external drive system is needed, except the amp/ power supply. I'm told this cuts both in and out, but I d...

Hi,
I have a 1903 Edison Standard B 2 minute cylinder phono with original recorder (cutter) and a 1911 Columbia Dictaphone electric shaver. Rick.

Hi Jukebox,
I also have an AMI C that i'm working on and wish to cut 78's for it (see, "what type system to use" post). Say, did I read right that you have 2 of these to play your 78's on? Rick.

Hi all, I want to cut 78's only (for my jukebox which has been modified to use a lighter 45 arm), so does it matter if I use an over head lathe or a pivital arm type? I undersatand the over head type should be better, but can I achieve good results with the pivital type. Any thoughts on either would...

Hi All, I'm new here and to record cutting and am excited by this site :D . I just picked up this lathe (ebay item 260017043755) and all it has stenciled on the cabinet and embossed on several parts is Paramount Pictures. Can anyone identify who actually made this or is it possible that Paramount ac...
