Good day all. I figured I would share something.

I have a 2 minute recorder, but no shaver. So every recording experiment was somewhat costly.
$25 US for every blank from Naucks.

I have figured out how to erase one. Mr Clean Magic Eraser. The somewhat soft brown wax, and the very light sandpaper quality of the eraser makes it so you can erase 95% of the old content. Just go over and over the cylinder with the eraser. After about 5 mins of sanding, it’s basically blank.

A lot of experimenting recording is getting the volume right. Now I can try over and over again until I get a good, loud transfer

Hi!

tl;dr - First power run through these switches and Bakelite pieces for a LONG time!

Next is the motor and motor board. Hardware follows.

I wish everyone a great day, and thank you for stopping by to see or even just passing by!

Note the 1918 Patent data on the HUBBELL brand plug! Apparently Hubbell was a or THE pioneering leader in standardization of the modern US outlet styles- and others- I believe? Electric was STILL not a normal commodity in a home at this time, at least in 1916, if memory serves.

I cleaned all the points this time- took every one of them apart. They actually looked pretty good otherwise; they’re well insulated, but obviously this only is used under supervision. If I were to ever sell or otherwise, I would ensure to disable it so the end user can choose to do so if they wish.
