Re: arsclist Telefunken Magnetic Recording Discs

["Steven Smolian" <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the Telefunken machine, the Ampex and a 3M one using the same or
suimilar technologies, although there may be differences in playing speeds,
eq, etc.  In addition I have an Ampex that uses the interiors of 3.5"
floppies in a cassette.  It sucks them in, feeds them through and spits them
out the other side.  Amazing!  when it works.
