A very interesting early recorder. Reminds me of the early war time machines used to record in the field - before my time.

Yes these machines were used for that. There are a lot of "letters home" recorded with these machines by the red cross.

this is awesome! I want one of thore reordio machines...

and the quality of recording is really good (saw 2nd vid) it sounds like a professional 78 rpm recording... I wonder how new artists sound in 78 rpm, hehe

visit my channel, you fill find another interesting 78 records :)

I have a similar model, I wanted to know what you do to make the needle go to the center, the video helps, but I wanted to know a little more.

Try a laser disc. It's a giant DVD the size of a 33 record. :)

Excellent video, great machine. Just purchased my first cutter on ebay, so doing a little prep work by watching videos like yours.

another thing you can try for recording media is disposable plastic plates! I have used the thicker shiny heavy duty ones with my recordio and they work really well and are very very cheap.

Wigglehead - You will have a tough time fitting any where near that much time even at 33 because you will have to control the pitch (groove width) yourself. Trust me, I have tried building my own lathe. The mechanism to keep a steady and even pitch is maddening. Do yourself a favor and save up a couple hundred for the next time one of these comes across ebay. I know I am doing the same!

VERY AWESOME!!! You are fortunate to have acquired such a machine in good condition! I look forward to the sound quality on playback.

Hey, azzx96, if I play my Granny's record player at 331/3 RPM, how many minutes will I be able to fit a Paramore song Like "Decode", 'cause their songs go for about 4:00 (s) long. So how many minutes will I be able to put onto the CD because I'm trying to make my own CDrecord and I don't know how to do it, I don't have a Wilcox-Gay Recordett, but I'm making a homemade needle to put the grooves on so please respond! Thank you.
