Hey Guys
Was talking about to Brian Ruryk last night about this, and he's relly encoureged me to continue this quest for dead media..
I have recently purchased an old General Electric Play-Talk record player here's the scoop;
“Playtalk” electronic toy for children uses a grooveless paper disk coated with “powdered” iron to record and reproduce magnetically music or voice. Records hold about two minutes of recording; can be “erased” and reused often
My question does anyone out there have more of these discs or is there anyway to find spray-on powderd Iron??? This way I can make my own discs and put out some killer jams on them....
please help email Crump at wintagerecords@gmail.com

I do have a package of discs. I don't have a playtalk but do have a Brush mail-a-voice which works on the same principle and uses similar but not identical discs. The ones for the GE are paper and the one wrinkled one for the Brush I have is plastic not unlike a flexi but a bit larger.
What about those old huge floppy drive discs?
Not the 5" ones but the 8(?)". Could they be adapted? |
