The workshop

Heritage engineering for the vinyl revival.

Glasgow Analog is based in Hillington, in the historic Rolls-Royce building where the legendary Merlin engine was once produced. It is a fitting home for a workshop devoted to precision — every machine we build carries that same insistence on getting the small things exactly right.

We are dedicated to the vibrant, ever-evolving community of people who cut vinyl. Bridging heritage and modernity, we pay homage to the rich history of the format while folding in contemporary advances in audio engineering — so each piece of equipment delivers the warmth and depth that only analog can.

Lathes, platters, cutter heads, lead screws and recording styli — designed, machined and finished here, to the micron.

Cutting lathes

Disk-mastering lathes engineered for stability and repeatable, micron-level control.

Vacuum platters

Turned and balanced platters that hold the blank dead-flat through the cut.

Cutter heads & styli

Cutter heads and recording styli made to exacting tolerances.

Drive & lead screws

Hand-finished brass lead screws and drive components for true tracking.
