Loricraft thread type


HI

I would like to know what type thread the Loricraft machines use. I do not want to get it from Smart or Loricraft because $10 a spool is a bit much for the thread when I know I can buy it at the local fabric store for half that and without having to pay shipping either.

It is special thread and using anything off the shelf will ruin your Loricraft. I'm sure they will tell you the same thing. What kind of audiophile balks at paying 2-10 times the actual value of an item? You will be thrown out of the club. :) :) :) :) Seriously, I suggest trying any white cotton thread. It's cheap so you have nothing to lose. Good luck.
I know it is a nylon thread and we should not use cotton. But I want to know thickness or size.
It dought it will ruin the machine more like my records.
The thread that comes with the Loricraft is nylon. Cotton can leave fibers or static, and may carry dirt wicked into itself across a record. Let us know if you come across an inexpensive alternative nylon thread.

On a spool from Loricraft is this:

You are both correct. Cotton should not be used (brain freeze). I have to believe a Gudebrod retailer or distributor can point you to the non-audiophile thread that is identical. Good luck.
