Dictaphonograph??, or "I've got a strange platter that looks like it came from a cereal box"
Greetings,
I popped my head into one of our collections and across a small
platter that looked much like an 45 Single or a mini-LP. The
sprocket hole is square rather than circular. It is quite flimsy.
Playing it on a "newer" phonograph brought forth two tracks of
audio and a lot of slipping and sliding. Playing it on a old, I mean
OLD, phonograph brought forth one track but a lot of pops and
hisses.
This, and I'm sure the dozens of others in the collection (not clearly
described) contains dictation, etc. Is there a "dictaphonograph"
player out there or can someone point me in a direction (politely)?
Thanks, in advance,
