Hey Slack: The 16" discs only have a max of 15 minutes per side because they were cut using a 78 rpm groove (played at 33 1/3). You need to use a 2.5-3 mil 78 needle to properly play these NOT a .7 mil LP needle. Later on they went to 33 1/3 microgroove transcriptions that used an LP needle and had 2- 15 minute shows per side.
I also have a Califone which is a little bit older than yours. Mine is model 12V7 the Director, and indeed I also have a couple of the 16 inch transcription discs. You can see some of my phonographic demonstrations here as well. I must upload something on the Califone real soon.
Hey Burt! Same here... summer equatorial calms and life conspires against me. Feeling less whacky these days. But working on a project to share some time soon. Holy crap! That's a big record! I've never seen such a beast! Also, interesting that your vintage turn table happens to play that monster. Music without interruption... funny. Nice waltz... maybe used as an early sonic weapon??
Always great to see you Slack!! How cool that your Califone can play 16 inch records!! I never thought of looking for a player like that. Now...Its on my list! I've always wanted to play these records. Thanks!! Sounds awesome!
I like the song at the end it has that nice relaxing 1930's sound, and I believe Albert White and the Gaslight Orchestra was popular in the 1930's. It seems like an odd music format for a military station, assuming to be from the 1950's due to being vinyl, and 33rpm. They had large transcription discs for the 1st talking motion pictures in the 1920's before optical sound came out. They had to manually get the movie sound track from the record in sync with the film.
GOOD MORNING, SLACK! What you say about liquor is true :-) But at any rate, I am glad to see you XO DeSoto has the most amazing things!! the 16" transcriptions are fabulous.
what type of microphone are you using?
