Chris, Bernie Grundman still uses Scully lathes:

Bernie used to have one or two of Gerry Block's automated margin-control systems for the Scully lathe.
I wonder how many other Scully lathes are still in use out there?
Your price number of $72K is interesting. I think that's about what a fully equipped Neumann computerized system cost in the late 70's.

But seems accurate?

I suppose that the Model 601 was what was introduced in 1955, and spotlighted in that High Fidelity article; which was the model that immediately preceded it? (Which had the same lead-in, band and lead-out characteristics, and had the same variable pitch controls and pitch knob as dating to fall 1950, and was earliest in use by RCA Victor in early 1951.) I know the 501 had the old-style "gear box."
