I'd like to aquire a Recordio today, now that I could easily work on it.

I think you just answered one of my questions: what may have burned out in the record cutter head on your dad's Recordio. It must have been a coil, if his was anything like your friend's record cutter. I guess those coils had a habit of burning out, depending on how much the record cutter was used. The one in your dad's Recordio, as I mentioned, must have been a very special type of part if he searched for several years (with no luck) to find a replacement. Strange. I thought those cutting heads were pretty much all alike, with one universal part fitting just about any type of record cutter available at the time.

Keep your eyes open on eBay and CL if you are looking for another Recordio. I'm sure they turn up on either site now and then.

For Holmesuser01:

I saw a W/G Recordio on eBay just a minute or so ago. Search the eBay site using keyword "wilcox-gay" to see the listings. There is at least one listing for a portable version of the unit. There are also several listings for discs recorded on these machines.

Thanks for the heads-up on the eGray listing. I'll watch it.
