"Home Made" 78 rpm Records From The Late 1940s
We just came accross these three home made 78 rpm records. Apparently they were made in the late 1940s near Pelston, Michigan. Not sure what is on them but the writing on them indicates that my wife's long dead mother's voice and my wife's voice (at the age of 3 or 4) and several other of my wife's relatives are also on there. I am looking for someone who would have the technology to transfer these voices to a file stick or some other current medium. Thanks for viewing

We had a record making machine when I was growing up. As I remember records came in sizes between 4 and 12 inches. Mom told me she used it to send records to my dad in Germany during and after WW II

usually 78 rpm check red white and blue stores for a multispeed turntable with external jacks should be easy enough for a computer geek to do

I am 77 now, but was recorded on the "Home Made" record machine at age two. I still have the records somewhere.

I knew a guy in grad school who collected old sound recorders. He had a bunch of cylinders on which he had recorded things like his voice.

I once had a recorder that used wire to record instead of tape. Worked pretty good. I wish I knew what happened to it

I too, had a wire recorder back in the early 50s. Did a good of recording. However, no editing as the wire speed sped up as the take-up reel got more wire on it.
Waaaay back, when I was in the third and fourth grade our music teacher had our band performance recorded. It was cut on an aluminum disc and you had to use a fiber needle for a pickup. The sound was terrible.
