Back in the late 40's my grandfather borrowed a freinds 78 rpm "record maker"
and made recordings in the backyard - mostly just talking about what was going
on in thier lifes. My mom was about 8 years old so it was fun hearing her talk
about school and to hear her, my uncle and thier frends singing.
The acetates were stored in the garage in binders and were in very poor shape
- I had to use a cheap Electrophonic turntable that played at 78 rpm just to
dub them to cassette, none of my new turntables played at the speed. Spent
hours at my college radio station using a DBX declicker and notch filter EQ to
try to clean them up with poor results.
Now I have a Microtek scanner that can scan slides - its gonna take 10
years to
transfer all my parents slides to a CD-R.
