Tinker,

Let me restate that. I was told, by THE guy who makes LT copies, that the cone was spun. In looking at sectioned caps, and knowing how a cymbal is made, seems logical to me. The original LT caps to tend to have concentric lines like something was revolving during the manufacturing process. My friend a machinist likes to turn the cones out of bar stock. Just does not seem right to me. If they were lathe turned from bar stock, I would expect an even wall thickness for the entire cone, yet the originals tend to have thinner noses.

PM me with your information and I will send you an original Super Mag Explora round to dissect.

Thanks for the response, am not a machinist, so how exactly would you do it?



Boy you can really hash out things by throwing out a couple of bold statements....
Fun and you learn stuff too.

I'd like to see the evidence, and I very much doubt that they were made on a spinning lathe.
There's plenty of room for me to adjust my perspective on this, and I've spent most of my life running metalworking machines and tooling - modern and antique.
