Re: What's this?
It appears to have both a cutting head for cutting lacquers but also a playback head too. Given its microphone and headphone inputs, I guess it's designed for capturing live sounds "in the field" and sampling playback?

Re: What's this?
Yes, it's an MSS record lathe, and clearly a portable variety for cutting (or strictly speaking, embossing) discs on location. Designed by Cecil Watts. The Bakelite arm to the left is an Acos GP20 for playback.

Re: What's this?
Thank you both. With a 99P start and no bids yet, it must be of interest to someone if only as a curio.

It certainly was of interest. It sold for £410.epigramophone wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 6:38 am Thank you both. With a 99P start and no bids yet, it must be of interest to someone if only as a curio.
For some unknown reason I can now post a picture :
