Vanrock E-101 Vinyl Record Lathe Cutting Machine — Functional
Our users rate Reverb
Overview
Up for sale is a rare, operational Vanrock E-101 Portable Vinyl Record Lathe Cutter & Recorder.
Made in Japan, this machine is a highly regarded standard for portable lathe cutting, valued by independent labels for its mechanical reliability and consistent performance in short-run production. Unlike many units found online "for parts," this specific machine has been meticulously maintained and is currently in active (but infrequent) use.
------------------------------
The Story
We have been using this machine as a side hobby, cutting one-off vinyl records for musicians and producers. The sound quality and charm of the cuts are exceptional. We are only selling because our current schedules no longer allow us the time this hobby deserves. We want this beautiful piece of engineering to go to a home where it will be used and appreciated.
Business Potential: While we used this for fun, this machine is a "business-in-a-box." With the current vinyl resurgence, there is a massive demand for short-run lathe cuts. A motivated buyer could easily turn this into a profitable boutique cutting service.
