  • WHY WOULD U RECORD OVER THAT!!! MAN THOSE ARE ORIGINAL RADIO BROADCASTS FROM THE BIG BAND DAYS THAT STUFF IS PRICELESS I HOPE U DIDNT RECORD OVER ALL OF IT!!! i used 2 have a recorder identical 2 this one u have this mite actually be it i swear it looks identical!!!!

  • @skullbone79 Thanks for your comment. Not every recording was original radio broadcasts as you may think. Many that I have are personal recordings, parties, amateur vocalists and the like.  Some are recordings of several records so the owner could listen to an hour of non-top music. I bought this from the estate of the original owner and have several great spools. This was not one of those great spools, but I respect them all. I hope you enjoyed the demo as much as others have. Thanks.

  • @Grampaphone Check out my other wire recording of the WDXV radio junior DJ contest, that is a real original radio broadcast and probably the only copy.

  • how cool

  • Thanks for your interest. I choose a spool that had the least wire and had issues. The wire had several breaks which made the spool problematic. A break can be spliced by tying the wire back together and clipping the loose end very short, but it becomes a problem in the wound spool. Other wire revolutions snag on the knot and cause yet another break. They sort of self-multiply. Anyway, I could not test the microphone without a wire spool. Do you have other recorded spools? Thanks, JT

  • Very interesting. Thanks for posting this video; but I hope you didn't completely ruined the original 1940s Wire recording - it has its own historical value anyway.
