Many missed the boat on the cutting stili that Rich and I had worked on, at least 7 years ago, maybe more. I had designed the stylus and Rich made it happen. It was cupped center sapphires, as close to an original Edison 2 minute cutter that can be made, they were made long (10mm) so you could handle them, easier than the shorter ones. To my knowledge they all sold. They work great, I have used them in my recorders for many years And anyone who has any of my recordings, either acoustic or electric has heard them. If there was enough interest I sure would like to see them ordered up again, I could sure use about 20 of them to revive the dead recorders in my fleet. Yes Expert Pickups has them, but they are a chisel shaped affair, and you have to get them just right to get them to record. Making the stylus holder takes forever so I do not like to work on recorders for others, as I do not have the time, it can easily be 14 or 15 hours of work that goes by wiz bang adju sting the angle testing and re adjusting. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
