I'll second your comment about offering of specialized hardware for dealing with obsolete or old forms of recording. Yale HSR has a Studer deck and will have improvements to its Technics turntable, directly thanks to information on this listserve.
I am unsure of the scope of this list - when one is off-topic. I offer this link to information on copyright in "Winnie the Pooh", hoping that I do not violate the limits.

In that context, I am delighted that specialized hardware such as the turntable is announced on this list. Otherwise, I would not be delighting in a Studer deck and would still be struggling with an array of TEACs.
