To transfer them, I'm using a modern turntable that handles 16" transcriptions and setting the audio to Vertical with one of those little KAB boxes (highly recommended, Kevin really knows what he's doing). To play them acoustically, I've fashioned a Pathe Diffuser type of playback assembly out of an old LP jacket, in which I have mounted an original Pathe ball stylus. Tracks extremely well!
