Taking out the scully fixed pitched system and having the chaps from vinylium install their pitch computer. Depending on how the next 6-8 months turn out, I'll try hunt down a Scully lathe chasis and start a rebuild on that.

its a workhorse and can take the abuse I give it with out giving me any hassle. Since that photo was taken I have changed out the microscope and put in a better monocular scope for better groove/land measurements. Rack on the left is just a Grapic EQ for Invertered R.I.A.A curve, Amp to power the head and feedback amp I couldn't use that amp with another head say Neumann sx74 or Vinylium SC-99 Each amp is built just for the each different head. Feedback is basically when a transient peak is detected in the head the signal is sent back to the feedback amp, its phase is turned 180* cancelling out the transient peak, and then sent back into the loop, giving better bass freq. We had to build the feedback amp for the head as you can't just go out and purchase one from off the shelf. not much to say there it is what is, a beast of a TT.Ĭutting head is a Neumann ES59. Especially while cutting the copper plates.

The TT is a Collins 200s with a Bodine motor 1800rpm 1/75HP, and has 18kgsqcm of torque to avoid all flutter issues. heating the stylus, making it easier to cut and prolonging stylus life. This stops chip/swarf from staying on the disc and damaging the disc or needle while it cuts.Ĭonsidering most of plastics I cut of some of the hardest around and we use Diamond stylus(which don't come cheap average is about 300E, with no guarantee of life) I had to install a heating system onto to the stylus which you can see under the laptop and running into the front of the head. The overhead was never designed to have one so again I had to go to machinist to make one. VEVOR Vinyl Cutter Machine, 28 in / 720 mm Max Paper Feed Cutting Plotter, Automatic Camera Contour Cutting LCD Screen Printer w/Stand Adjustable Force and Speed for Sign Making Plotter Cutter. We then had to attach a swarf removal, you can see from picture the clear PVC pipe coming from back of the overhead. we found them from a chap in montonna, US This opened us up to having feedscrew's for changing LPI(lines per inch) and having better sounding cuts, but I had to hunt down these feedscrew schematics as they are no longer mass produced. The feedscrew, which is the part that sits under the cutter carriage(red unit in the corner with wires attached) was one solid piece, so i had to remove that and get a machinist to make new part for crank handle and worm gear. Petersburg in Russia, needed a fair amount of TLC when it arrived here. Its basically a Presto 6N overhead mounted onto a Collins 200s TT.
