RJT>I saw that once,  way too much money!  If they can put a laser into cdrom

RJT>It'd be kinda nifty,  anyhow!

 It is basicly a VERY low production Hand Built unit. The one I saw
 also uses Three Lasers.
Incidently I ran across a site that would convert the Old Edison to Wave
files for preservation. And supprisingly an outfit in England still
produces the Cylinders.    www.tinfoil.com    Check it out.

Adn for yuo Young Kids out there he chose the name of "Tinfoil" for his
site name becasue some of the Earlest Recordings WERE made on Tinfoil.
