I made some good records with that gear. I kept only two pieces and gradually weeded out and upgraded the restHewlett-Packard

The back was the best part. I remember one of the guys who worked for me getting out of helping me build any of this. He cut the wire and started stripping it with his teeth. Then went on to tell me how many hundreds of EDACS he had done. I guess if you really want to get of wiring work do that, or be a real man and learn a craft.

Transfering Records in reverse

I was given a 78 to transfer. When I transfer something one of a kind I do 3 passes. The first is dry, dusted as the client delivered.

The second is wet (Ultrasonic bath if possible)

The third is in reverse. I find it cuts the pops and skips differently. EX: if you have a scratch in one direction it MAY not show up in the reversed transfer. Edit together and whadaya get… bitty bopity boo.

  • Here is the same scratch forward (top) and transfered in reversed and reversed in PT (Bottom)

  • I use a Stanton STR8-100 with a SPDIF out. It has a button that simply reverses the direction of playing, it is rock solid. It’s got the direct drive faults, but non the less sounds great.
