Hey y'all

I just bought a Presto lathe (turntable only) and wish to build it up in to a fine little machine, correct me if I'm wrong but what else do I need, I know I need a cutting arm, amp, and cutting head. Any thing I'm missing?? Oh I also have to build my own base for it so if anybody else out there has any experience with that please give me a shout.

FIrst off whats the model # of the presto? If you have no cutting arm/overhead, amp, cutting head or base.... is what you have just the turntable platter and motor??

Yes youll need a cutting head, an amp to power it and a way to move the cutter accross the record.
