I Buy Old Records
United States
Приєднався 2 лис 2019
I buy old vinyl records from thrift stores, antique malls and garage sales, and from anybody willing to sell them to me. I mostly buy 50s and 60s rockabilly, blues, northern soul, country and gospel records. 45s, 78s, and the occasional 33rpm lp. I have an almost complete Sun Records collection and use an old record cutting lathe to cut my own music.
I recently moved to an undisclosed location to better focus on getting a proper tan.
JK...well kind of...but I have indeed moved far south of wherever you may be unless you're further south than me and in that case, I don't know what to tell you. I'll fill you all in on the details soon. There are more videos coming.

I Make Old Records! How it's done
Had some requests for this, fired up the FrankenPresto and here's a primer on cutting an original Sons of Sam hillbilly bop 78 rpm record! "I Ain't Gonna Ask Again" copyright 2024 by Mack Stevens

Been making my own home cut Sun 78 rpm records, here's what I have so far. Lotta trial and even more error! Each day I do this some gremlin possesses the FrankenPresto machine and wreaks havoc. Doing this for my own fun since I just can't go to local garage sales and find Sun records here in Argentina.

Record needs cleaning
Awesome video, thanks for the tips. My dad left me with 1000's of LPs and hundreds and hundreds of 45 and 78 that I have to go thru.
Great videos you have posted over the last few years on record cutting Mac! Looks like you have really honed in on how to make a good recording. We greatly appreciate you sharing a detailed look as to how it's done! Where do you get your blanks from, and are they polycarbonate? Jon
a Dr messed up my ears almost 3 years ago. Im an audiophile so half of my addiction is the music and the other half is the equipment. Having this happen to me made me realize how important ears are. It's a given for 99 percent of the world. It's got me in a state of despair. I cant live like this, but at the end of the day this is the way hit is. Message is, appreciate your ears, they are amazing. If you look at the anatomy and how it works you might just start believing in God if you don't already. It's amazingly complex and beautiful. Take care of your ears ppl, don't let a Dr. near them unless you're dying. Awesome video, love your interest in making your own records, so cool!
Right now I have a couple 7 inch vinyl .one by the bangles and one by N.R.B.Q.
In the mid 70s in England we would cut EMI disks from rare 60s soul then sell them for $5 each. its still done. For example if someone has found a particularly rare 60s soul track on a acetate or a master tape and they want to use it to DJ with. But of course there are unscrupulous characters that make a carver and make it look like it was made in the 60s along with stains on label etc.
QUESTION; i have a 50s Record Cutter (wilcox Gay) with a burnt crystal cartridge, been looking for someone who can fix the thing, perhaps turn it into magnetic as opposed to crystal...saw your rek-o-cut sittin there on yer desk and i thought maybe YOU might be able to steer me inna right direction...?
Fabulous
Unreal! I dream of putting my own music on records like this.
As a kid in the 60s and 70s I lived a block from a 2nd hand store called The Better Buy. They had SO MANY 78 rpm records there they were practically giving them away. You could buy a binder with ten 78s for a quarter.
What sorcery is this? Sounds exciting and excellent Mac
I love watching your videos is there anyway you could put a lot of those great old tunes on a cd?
this is awesome! I want a lathe so bad to just mess around with.
Oh, what are you using for blanks?
This is s-o-o-o-o-o cool! My dream forever has been to cut records. Sure, there are lots of vintage home and hobbyist record cutting machines, and even a toy-type one available now, but to have a professional machine is great. Before tape recorders were common, broadcasters cut their programs onto records. Presto and Rek-O-Kut were the kings of professional record cutting.
I've missed watching your videos.. are you back???
Nice to hear you mention Hemsby, as I live in Great Yarmouth, where I run a recording studio. If you're ever back here, you should swing by. I've got a few Ampex 601s, a pair of those Ampex 620 speakers, and lots of vintage mics and tape machines. :)
78s cut by Vacuum Sonic... Excellento! What would be the play/spin life on these discs Mr Mack, given they're plastic and not vinyl? Cin Cin. Hari
They're pretty tough, will keep track of plays and figure it out
Looks like a lot of fun!
Wonder how they did the eccentric runout groove on 78s and some early LPs.
I recall reading Victor had an offset turntable
Just fantastic Mack and indeed sounds amazing! Thanks for showing the process... Great to see you back again & doing so well, thank you !
Does a record heated during the cutting process require a certain amount of time to cool? By playing it that quickly after cutting it does it “stretch” the grooves? Thank you for show this fascinating process.
Playback immediately
Ya know... we could nay say all day but, who's actually making their own records? Not us! 😆Very cool man! 🍻
Wish that I still had my 78s. I sold them all some time ago now. The Bobby Roberts is really cool. The b side BIG SANDY has long been a favourite of mine along with the great moody rocker of his on HUT Craving .
I wonder how they used to cut the eccentric run out grooves on 78's? Anybody know?
Victor supposedly used an offset turntable in the 1920s
Absolutely great!!
It's Saturday morning here in Finland and first cup of coffee front of me. It's always great to get and watch your videos....
Would love to have any one of these... novel look with the clear and sun label. Originals or not... this is not just reproductions... it is art you are creating. Real treasures.
Cool
Interesting. And it's been awhile! Record turned out great. Do those wear out faster than Shellac and regular vinyl records?
They seem to last about as long
Fascinating. Alchemy, indeed! Inneresting to see the process you have evolved to come up with such great sound.
Hey presto a fantastic demonstration on how to cut a record and it sounds great, primitive style and all. Nice to know you’re still with us Mack and gracias.
You are like some kinda mad scientist. Absolutely fascinating!
Great video Mack! Outta ten cut records, how many do you succeed with no errors? Just curious. They sound fantastic! I got one of your early cuts and enjoy it very much! 😊👍🏽
Probably half are successful, did eight good ones in a row once.
@@IBuyOldRecords not an easy craft and you need a little luck too I imagine.
That’s COOL… ❤❤❤
Nice setup you have. What material do you use for blanks? I have made a homemade lathe out of CNC parts and a beat up old Stanton turntable and i cut on polypropylene with hardened steel plotter cutting needles but have not had much success, maybe i need to get hold of some sapphire or ruby cutting needles
Have PVC black and clear from a US supplier, running low tho... PET works well, tho a bit finicky
Your record sounds great. Best one yet!
I have a ton of 45 RPM lots from the 50s and 60s +
Write me on FB, please, I know some rabid collectors for them
This is so cool. I wonder how many people are still using these machines.
So good to see and hear from you again brother. Those 78s look and sound superb👍..Big thanks from here in fhe UK for posting this...we miss you !!!!
Very cool, Mack. Really enjoyed learning.
More more more please, brother Mac 🙏 ❤️
Great seeing you again brother! Keep the videos coming. You’re entertaining and educating 🎉
yep, pure analogue sound! brilliant!
Freedonia forever, cut that disc, pick ya toenails up tomorrow 😁
Happy Birthday Mack, it's nice weather up here in Oregon .
I thought you were gonna show them being made.......like the title says
Next week

Mac, love these!!! Is it the same Dennis West who said that he had bought inventory including thousands of SUN Vinyls? Some people talked it was Kevin Lewandovski..
