motor speed
you shouldnt try to cut 45s at 78 you shoudl even go for a 33 motor and cut 45 at 33, you see the problem is: all the old not so professional cutterheads, dont have a good frequency range... so if you pitch up your recordings to 78 that is 78/45 times the original all the frequencies of the original...

mm MC crystal

vinylrecorder
I heard a testcut of this thing, its alright! some people here in germany say its a bit dull... but i think it depends a lot on the person who uses it... the trick is also: it uses diamond styli and not saphire (we tried to cut into souris-vinylrecorder-plates with normal cutterheads... its not poss...

what you might need is...
Hey aaron, what you need is an Grampian Type D cutter, undestroyable...gives more or less good results, although i now switched to the SC99 from vinylium... you could the grampian from a guy called rob van dyke he puts stuff like that on ebay from time to time... i think grampian head will be around...
