RCA Victor documentary

A spot for keeping track of especially cool (informative, fun) videos, photos, scans and other links about record cutting. (You can post them in other sections. Eventually they may end up here.) NOTE: Please put *Circuits, Schematics and Manuals* in the section with that name.

Hi, I just watched this documentary and find it very interesting. I wasn't sure where to post it, so if mods think there is a better place please move it

Very cool, I'm going to watch this later today. I live ~20 minutes away from this building, I actually bought a Rek-O-Kut Challenger from them in 2023. They were using it to cut records during live performances at their headquarters - the guy said the last record he remembers using it to make was a live recording of Andrea Bocelli during a performance at their lounge!

Cool topic, but the AI voice chosen to narrate this was so bad I had to turn it off within seconds.
