Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 This year's BOTB has re-ignited my "vintage technology" obsession; so I want to test the water and see if anyone else in this forum has ever been fascinated with the idea of pressing vinyl, how it works, or if it's possible to DIY. I really don't know much about it, so I wonder if there are any experienced techs out there who can chime in on the subject.

Members Blungo Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 That's so cool! I've always been interested in the record cutting process. I bought my brother a little kit where you cut a record on a styrofoam cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I haven't heard great things about it. The records, apparently, start to seriously degrade after about 15 plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
