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.
great video. i just purchased a recordette myself, but am having trouble cutting. when i raise the cutting arm it clicks, but doesn't seem to stay up, and it seems to not skate inwards as a result, getting stuck in one spot. is the recording arm supposed to stay up after that 'click'?
@Wigglehead2050 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!
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 :)
Very Nice! Thanks for posting!
Excellent video, great machine. Just purchased my first cutter on ebay, so doing a little prep work by watching videos like yours.
A very interesting early recorder. Reminds me of the early war time machines used to record in the field - before my time.

You are welcome. Did you Listen to the disk? I posted it as Wilcox-Gay Recordett pt 2. Gald You enjoyed it.
Yes these machines were used for that. There are a lot of "letters home" recorded with these machines by the red cross.
During recording, the arm moves like when he's playing?

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