Replying to a message of Russell Tiedt to Bob Ackley:

 RT> Hello Bob.

 RT>>>> knowledge it worked very well, unfortunately I  don't have a 16
 RT>>>> 2/3's player to be able to compare what I have and how it
 RT>>>> sounded when played back as intended.

 BA>> I *might* have one somewhere around here.  I know I used to have one.
 BA>> IIRC that speed was mostly used for vocal transcriptions such as
 BA>> speeches or readings, it's too slow for any reasonable high
 BA>> frequency response.  A similar problem existed with the 1.875 ips
 BA>> tape speed in reel-to-reel tape recorders, I have a machine that
 BA>> will do it but the fidelity isn't too good (compared to 7.5 ips).

 RT> You are luchier than I.:-)

I just *never* throw anything away.

 BA>> I *can* do 33.33, 45, and four flavors of 78 (76.16 thru 80) - the
 BA>> nominal 78 rpm wasn't really a standard and different manufacturers
 BA>> used different speeds (Edison used 80 rpm).  I can also do 16"
 BA>> diameter transcriptions (if I ever manage to find a place to set up
 BA>> the turntable).

 RT> I have two turntables that can do 45 and 33.33, and one that will only
 RT> do  33.33. :-(( Nothing for 78's. :-((((
