Wow fantastic. Is the speaker hooked up to an amp or directly to your mixer?

interesante , pero que musica de mierda que eligen para hacer demostraciones de grabacion de vinilos – si no es marcha es otra pelotudes , por q no graban un buen rockabilly !!

What is the music used for this ground breaking device. I’m impressed by both the music and DIY recorder – congrats to you. I love home builds

Comment Part One
Archaic but genious! I plan to build one of these lathes because I have a poisonous passion for all type of vinyl recording techniques whatever archaic or professional!
I prefer archaic because it powers up our creativity to cut a vinyl record for everyone!

Amazing….how is the cutting arm attached to the speaker? Just resting on it? We need more video. Can’t wait to try this.

Comment Part Two
As I said in the part one of this comment, I plan to build an archaic cutting lathe using an old Lexmark printer as cutting head assembly replacing the scanning head stepper motor for a synchronous one for avoiding strokes while working. I don’t know wich “acetate disc” I will use. I prefer begin by choosing the right scanning system, the cutting head and after the apprpriate turntable. I think that it will work surprisely!

I wanted to look at this again but getting a “We’re sorry this video is no longer available” message from YouTube.

do you have a website or anywhere where you could post a picture or diagram of the pop can bottom in the speaker?? how loud is the signal that you are sending to the speaker? this is an awesome machine youve created.

is the centre hole on your recording turntable untrue? what is the cause for the uneven playing on the acetate?
April 1st, 2009 on 7:29 am
Not bad.

I’ve also seen that you have done this recording from inside to outside of the sheet. Which purpose was done this for?
April 1st, 2009 on 7:29 am
I did same at 1981 using a sheet of acetate from the upper part of an Agfa magnetic tape box as recording media.
I used a playback head from an old 78 rpm turntable. I changed the high impedance winding from that head by an homemade 8 ohm new one to be driven from the 2.5 w speaker out of one of my tape recorders. As recording needle I used an old steel stylus for 78 rpm playing.
The head was hand moved across the disc surface and the groove was embossed not cut.

Cutting needle is an old stylus from discarded record player. The centre of the speaker is removed and replaced with the bottom of a pop can. The arm (aluminum dowel) is tapped and bolted to the pop can from behind.

I used the stylus from an old record player for the cutting.

I don’t really know. This machine uses regular acetate like the kind used for overhead projection.

Hi Jbmuko.
Cool machine. Very Creative.
We also do some cutting …its fun.
All the best. Bjørn
