While we are at this, what is the availability of the Vinylrecorder and the Vestax unit? Are all 3 still in production or available? Are there any other new machines out there? I just told someone else on here that these might be his least expensive alternatives for producing new stereo records.

vestax has retired his vrx2000 of the market, a pile of criticize bad on its quality, single is stock

please, do not buy one vrx2000, you are going to trash your money

single there are two options to, vinylrecorder (now, the best option to cut plastic) and kingston (to cut lacquers or acetates)

luck! Very Happy

do you have experience with the kingston motorino?

There are a lot of reasons to choose the kingstom over the vinylrecorder, from the high quality of the kingstom compared to the vinylrecorder, to the rude seller of the second one, who stop selling blank pvc records to some of the dub cutter services who bought his machine, with no reason. I know one of this services, they closed and sold all components, and the other still has the machine... but had to stop the busines because they can't record blank discs. IMHO it's not very intelligent to sell the machine and without any visible reason stop providing components and/or supplies. Personally i'd never recomend this product, the vinillium is a better machine, and they're nice.

good info mich, thx.
what are the options for recording pvc on the vinylium? - availabilty of diamond stylii that fits it, and pvc blanks at reasonable prices.
i believe that pvc cuts are of lesser quality than acetates,dubs, etc.. but if the kingston can cut these is the quality acceptable (noise,etc..)?

my imho, vinylrecorder its good for scratch djs

only the plastic supports the scratch, i knows the apollo lites..

KINGSTON IS THE BEST CUTTING MACHINE, but, for the moment, dont cut in to plastic Crying or Very sad

hello. ok some news from the loneliness of the swiss-pampa....

vinylium still exists. no worry. they just dont have the regular swiss bank opening times( from 8:00-12:00 and 13:30-18:30)...or they are damn busy..or they are listening to too loud music and dont hear the phone ringing.....

so send an email or call. best chances are after 13:00 swiss time..

the vinylium (kingston) dubplate cutter is still for sale. and will be serviced no problemo....and if there will be problems in far future. there is still flozkis-week end repair worksshop. but dont use as long as there is vinylium....

also i bet there will be pvcs diamonds and much more gadegets out for the vinylium cutter......
