Peter!
I'd be glad to help her out. As long as there aren't 100 discs to restore
and catalog, I wouldn't even have to charge her for more than some cd-r's.
I regularly do audio restoration for Curb Records here in Nashville, mainly
white label dj copies of extremely rare and obscure movies soundtracks and
go-go compilations from Mike Curb's personal collection (not really worth
much to collectors, but they mean the world to Mike, especially since he did
the music to a lot of the films). I have a specially modified Nitty Gritty
1.5FI for cleaning (even the soundpage-like Ediphone discs), and
transcriptions are done with a Music Hall MMF-9 (also highly modified with
Cardas Incognito tonearm wiring for starters), using a Shure V15VxMR
cartridge (the line-contact stylus is small enough to accurately read even
Edison 80rpm long-plays with great clarity) into a Musical Fidelity
Tri-Vista phono pre-amp. Through Nordost Red Dawn interconnects, the signal
goes into Apogee a/d convertors to be loaded into my ProTools rig, where I
do restorations with a number of plug-ins by Waves and other companies.
Then I burn them to cd-r and that's that!
I would never use this forum to solicit my services officially, but if
anyone's wondering, I charge Mike $20 a song or $200 a single album, and I
do have stylii and a turntable for 78rpm restoration as well. I can't play
back cylinder recordings, however. Just for the record.
Best Regards,
Robert Wright

Subject: [Phono-L] help needed: red diamond disc player sought
Gang -
A lady emailed me today looking for help to get sound off of some old
floppy red plastic mid-century Ediphone discs...which as you may know,
they called Diamond Discs.
They have her dead husband's voice on them, and she wants recordings
made for her kids.
Any help?
