Hello Russell -

The .50 would be close enough to be undetectable for all but
the 'golden ears' out there. :-)

Any well-written WAV editor that you want to use is good.

My only concern would be to not do damage to the original record.
I would use an LP needle for this as the irregularities in the
16 rpm would have to be closely spaced to achieve fidelity at that
rpm.

Use a 'test' record to get all the volumes adjusted properly so
that you can snatch the audio the first time with the 16 rpm
and not have to rerun it multiple times at this higher 33 1/3
rpm.  Try for 70-80% on SU meters to avoid clipping of high frequencies
since this will be a 'chipmunk' recording (sort of) there will
be a preponderance of high freq audio at first.  You may have to
reset the volume since the 16 rpm audio will be 'distorted' a bit
by the use of the wrong speed. Hopefully not more than 2 or 3 times
to grab good audio and write the WAV file.

Let me know what you find when you get there. ;-)
