Re: [ARSCLIST] Edison Voicewriter repeat request
Though it might not be correct, our Voicewriter never worked properly so
we just play the discs on our turntable (making sure the surface is flat
that is supporting the disc, and using the 45 insert, using as light of
a tracking weight w/ a LP stylus to get good tone and tracking, maybe
about 1+ grams). The speed seems to be about 30rpm, not sure. More
recently I have been adjusting the speed in the digital realm after
playing and mastering. Usually the Voicewriter segments are short spoken
dictation material, so small speed variations aren't so important.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Edison Voicewriter repeat request
Does anyone have instruction manual for the Edison Voicewriter? or know
how to use it.
The model is 76500, but probably other models have the same or very
similar functions.
A friend has some recordings of parents they would like to recover, but
don't want to risk
damaging the discs by playing them with out knowing reasonably well how
to playback.
Anyone with instructions, or experience using these machines, please
help.
Thanks, Thomas.
