Above: beautiful line-drawn rendition of a Scully 601 lathe. Made right here in blighted Bridgeport CT. Ahh Bridgeport what happened? I think I might take a drive over to “62 walter st” today and see what’s there now…
Although Scully seems to have dominated the US lathe market in the 1950s and 1960s, every time I have personally attended an LP mastering session (maybe a dozen times), I have seen a Neumann used. Any of you LP mastering folk prefer Scully brand to Neumann these days?
