Tens of thousands of dollars and a waiting list ... and I don't know
anyone who actually has one and uses it for preservation. Though
apparently they are *damn fine*.

I've wanted one of these for years: http://www.elpj.com/ OTOH, even
the Internet Archive doesn't bother with those, they just use ordinary
Technics turntables.

Eh there used to be fairground/seaside booths where you could cut your own
record. One the plus side this stuff should last longer than say floppy
discs.

This is surprisingly common with indie records. Frequently, a few
hundred pieces of vinyl are the *only* copies of the music in
question.

I wasn't. That's going to kill my productivity for the rest of the day ;-)

Thank you.

Thanks, great article. At Sound and Vision in the Netherlands we recently
digitized nearly 10.000 (mainly Dutch) 78 rpm records. Unfortunately
researching whether this material is PD or not is an enormous effort. By
the looks of it only a very small part of it will be PD in the US. Once the
research is finished we will upload these to commons.
