You may well find that the mechanism is not good enough for NBTV..
I have given up trying to record on my lathe as the speed variation/vibration is ruining the recordings on wax.
Here's an update of my progress so far into the Edikow world.....
I have obtained an Edison Ediphone machine now being adapted for NBTV!
Here's photos of modified reproducer arm. The black knob at ther top is for shaving/recording depth adjustment. The shaving tool is carried on the bracket. You can see the shiny surface of the black Edison wax cylinder.
Also shown are 2 recording heads I have made...one lateral and the other hill/dale recording. I can get up to near 10 kc now with a modified equilisation input to the cutter heads.
The shaving tool is made from gauge plate.
This machine will, hopefully, be able to shave/record/playback in the one mchine.
Incidentally, being a purist, an Edikow machine for me, MUST record onto Edison wax cylinders to justify the name EDIkow, else it should be renamed a PLASTICkow !
