Lou:
I don't know exactly what they have other than some are older
Edison 78s and
most are more modern 33s. I didn't specify, as the thread I was
following
up on was talking about vinyl or shellac platters-not CDs or glass
masters.
To be a little more specific, this is an archive that wants to job
the work
out. We don't do platters at our lab (We just do tape- and the
occasional
CD, DVD or MO). They have about 50 boxes of "records" with fungus
and are
looking for potential vendors to handle the cleaning. As an
archive, they
are also particularly interested in saving the album covers and
labels as
well as the discs. They consider the entire "package" as worth
saving-not
just the recorded content. Also, I don't know just how many discs
they have
in the boxes but I figure, maybe 10 to 20 discs per box? 50 boxes
could add
up to a reasonable amount of cleaning and the archive really
doesn't want to
do this in-house.
