THD is a disk cutter in Oslo who runs LS-76 #653. We have been exchanging stories and notes on these late Scullys since meeting over on the SSoLT forum. He uses a stereo Westrex 3DII cutter (and full Westrex amp rack). This picture also shows the original LS-76 vacuum hose's spindle chuck with formed tube attachment, which applies pressure to keep the blank disk stationary during cutting and spinning. The VMS70 Neumann is similarly equipped.
I noticed the word, NED, on his cutter. I looked it up and, in Norwegian, it means, of course, Down.
Notice how far his chip tube nozzle stuck inside the chromium plated chip tube must extend in order to reach the stylus on the massive Westrex cutter. They are so robust that cooling with [He] is optional.
