This post is more of a topic reservation, as while I helped my wife to put the children to bed (the youngest is not yet 2 weeks old) - today 03/03/2023 is coming to an end. This is important because I allocated exactly 20 days for the process of creating a workable stereo recorder in order to officially present the first recording service in Ukraine on 03/23/2023. I nurtured this idea for more than 10 years, changed my place of residence several times and now I am here - Kyiv, Ukraine. Initially, all this was planned to start exactly a year ago, but the war began. But now is not about that…
In this topic, I will carefully document the entire process of the next 20 days, and naturally at the end of this, it will become clear whether I succeeded in my plan. I will immediately note most of the nuances and I will be extremely honest with you. I plan this project as a charity project (at least in part), because I want to make another contribution to the development of the economy of my country, as well as help the victims of this war.
I have a business and a source of income. It is not related to recording records, but it is related to various machines (I have a small tool shop with lathes, CNC, laser cutters, coil winders and transformers, etc.), high-precision mechanics and electronics service (there are many electronic equipment, oscilloscopes, generators, microscopes, etc.), sharpening equipment and much more. In general, I have all the opportunities and resources to do this. One thing is not enough - time! I am the father of four children

I have already collected a lot to start building the cutter. I will be documenting this in detail as I plan to make at least 3 variants of stereo heads, test them, make mechanics and other stages. At the output in twenty days, I want to get a working device that can cut records in stereo for money. I will also carefully record my expenses. I will buy spare parts and components as locally as possible, in my country.
Perhaps someone will remember, but once I already started building a DIY cutter - https://www.lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3641
But then there were many different events in life that did not allow everything to be completed. I really count on your support, I am very inspired by many respected trolls of this forum. Below I will post a photo of what I have at home in order to start prototyping tomorrow (immediately after visiting the dentist
