I just saw this thread for the first time. I didnt think it was a porn title.
My dad had a Recordio that they used to record events at his little country church in Long Branch, SC. I have a selection of 10" and 7" discs. Surprisingly, they sound good. Some of the discs have not faired well over the last 60 years, but most are still relatively scratch-free.
The statement in a previous post, 'recordio didn't care' was right on. My dad told me that when the cutting head died on his recordio, he wrote the company. They replied by saying that his unit was out of warranty, and that the new head would cost $$. Plus, they wanted him to return it to an authorized service facility. More $$.
The later recordings that I have are much quieter. Dad turned the recording volume down. The recording head was replaced at least 4 times before they all gave up on it. It sat in a box in the basement for years. Then, I got old enough to receive it to take apart. I was around 7 years old. I can still remember the cabinet. Somewhere in my junk I still have a bad recording head for this unit. I also have the last disk it recorded. The lady was singing a lovely passage. She hit a high note, there was some distortion, and silence.
It was a good idea at the time. Too bad Wilcox-Gay was so cheap with their execution.
I've transferred 50+ disks to audio tape. Dad is past 80 now, and enjoys listening to them occasionally.
