I suggest lending this disc to Don Wilson for copying: he can mold a resin copy, to be sold to collectors.

it kinda is

Not a proper digitization, though. A proper record transfer is a direct line transfer with your turntable hooked up directly to your computer.

thats also what i sort of nodded more over to.

I just recently got a record player which I can hook up to my computer so I will be uploading the digitized version soon!

I collect early discs...am always interested in buying same. Feel free to contact me at craigventresco@gmail.com . Thanks!

Are these for sale still?

Are these records still for sale

RyRy Almighty what number? I Love DD's! Have well over 200, but as you know if you have many, they often loose their labels!

@@davidlogansr8007 The number etched into the disc is 4982-A-10-30

It is single sided. Practically all records were single sided until Columbia devised the "Double Disc" record in 1908.

IS THAT COLUMBIA 'PHONOGRAPH' OF THE SAME VINTAGE OF THE DISK? YES, IT'S CHARMING TO SEE AND HEAR THE ORIGINAL DISK BEING PLAYED ON IT. I'M NOT A 'COLLECTOR' OF PHONOGAPHS. BUT I STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT THIS IS AN EARLIER VINTAGE MACHINE. SHOULD IT NOT HAVE AN EXTERNAL HORN TO BE HISTORICALLY CORRECT? THE CRITIQUE IS UTTERLY CORRECT ABOUT NOT PLAYING ESPECIALLY RARE SHELLAC DISKS ON PRIMITIVE PHONOGRAPHS SUCH AS THIS. WITH EXCEPTIONS, THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE PLAYBACK SYSTEM WAS TO WEAR (NOT MALICIOUSLY) THE PLAYING SURFACES. ONE SUCH EXCEPTION WAS COLUMBIA'S MARCONI-VELVETONE FLEXIBLE DISK (1906). THEY HAD SUBSTANTIALLY LESS NOISE. THEIR PATENT FOR IT PRESAGED THEIR EXQUISITELY LOW NOISE LAMINATED DISKS 20+ YEARS LATER. FOR VARIOUS REASONS, IT WAS A COMMERCIAL FAILURE. TO APPRECIATE THE BRUTE FORCE OF WHAT YOU SEE BEING USED IN THIS DEMONSTRATION, PLACE YOUR OPENED HAND (FACE UP) WHERE THE NEEDLE (CACTUS OR STEEL) SHOULD BE LOWERED ONTO THE DISK. THEN LET THAT NEEDLE HIT (IN OUNCES) YOUR FLESH. AFTER DAUBING YOUR BLOOD AND TREATING THE WOUND, DO A COMPARABLE PROCEDURE WITH A CONTEMPORARY CARTRIDGE. DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES WITH VARIOUS SIZES AND SHAPES OF DIAMOND STYLI, WITH FORCES MEASURED IN A FEW GRAMS. MAKE ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR HOW MUCH OF THAT GROOVE IS TRULY LATERAL OR SOME OTHER VECTOR. WHICH WOULD YOU PREFER TO REPEATEDLY DO TO YOUR SHELLACS? ALSO, USING A MICROPHONE TO REPRODUCE THE SOUND OF AN ACOUSTICAL SYSTEM NECESSARILY ADDS THE ACOUSTICS OF THE ROOM (WHICH INCLUDE NOISES MADE BY THE CHARMING OLD MACHINES) TO YOUR PLAYBACK. BECAUSE ANY NEW DIGITAL MASTERS MIGHT EVENTUALLY ENABLE RESULTS EVEN BETTER RESULTS THAT WE CAN NOT NOW HOPE FOR, SUCH TRANSFERS MUST NOT BE DONE WITH ANY FILTERING, NOISE SUPPRESSION, ETC. IMAGINE IF THE METAL THAT WAS USED TO PRESS THIS DISK SURVIVED INTACT AND WAS USED TO BYPASS ALL OF THE INTERVENING PRIMITIVE EQUIPMENT. THEN YOU WOULD BE UTTERLY ASTONISHED BY THE FIDELITY OF WHAT THEY WERE RECORDING, WITHOUT ELECTRONICS, 117 YEARS AGO. YET ANOTHER SOURCE OF PLAYBACK SANS NEEDLES AND OR STYLI MIGHT BE THE NORTH KOREAN AND OTHER BRAINTRUSTS' INCREDIBLE EXPERTISE WITH DIGITAL (I.E. FACIAL RECOGNITION) TECHNOLOGY. THEY, PUTIN AND TRUMP COULD DEMAND RESIDUALS FOR THESE AUDIO RESURECTIONS. AND NOW, LET'S THINK ABOUT MAGNETIC AND OPTICAL RECORDINGS...
