HOW MELTINGPOTSOUND STARTED OVER 50 YEARS AGO

 NY Lathe cut record service in New York City headed by record cutting engineer Rich Flores,  Cutting Lacquers Since 1972
Walter Gibbons, and I started Melting Pot Sound, a dub plate disc recording service for DJ's in the summer of 1972.

Long after many years, I decided to give up the business in 1986 to go into the NEON sign business and sold my lathe on consignment to Robert S. Cosulich from TRANSCO PRODUCTS CORP in Linden, NJ There it was used to do lacquer quality control test cuts.

The Neumann cutting lathe and the HAECO SC-1 cutting head was the one used to cut The Misfits first 45 7 inch disc "Cough Cool", wound up in The Wakefield section of The Bronx, NY. then at TRANSCO CORP.

 That lathe  was destroyed at the Apollo fire where the lacquers were made in Banning, CA. I purchased this record cutting lathe in 1972 from A&R recording studios in New York.
