That 12" Needle Type set is a real rarity- I have the only other copy I have ever seen. Yours are super clean, too. Good luck with the sale!

I would love to have the needle cut records, but alas it is out of my budget.

I have the Roths in the same work on diamond discs 80903 and 80904 (electric recordings). Were those cut from the same performance with a split feed from the microphone? Or was the lateral issue a different performance?

It would be nice if "the offer" price was left in FORS SALE threads. The actual sale price may be private the asking price was public knowledge.

A collector friend in the UK who makes regular buying trips to the USA has the needle cut Haydn Quartet, a great rarity over here.
He told me that the lateral cut masters were recorded alongside the Diamond Discs, so presumably they were recordings of the same performance.
