I've been on the listserv from the beginning, so I have seen all the
exchanges, and my mind still boggles at the misinformation passed about like
bubblegum at a high school picnic!

You apparently missed the fact that audio restoration is my business and I
bought a Monks machine as a user for my restoration suite a few years ago.

I was so impressed with its performance that I contacted Monks and asked him
for the agency for North America on the tail end of the debacle with the
guy in California.

THAT is how I became the sole supplier for the Archivist machine, coupled
with the fact that it was designed to meet my requirements with dual
chemistry and 16 inch record capacity.

Carry on McDuff... far be it from me to try and change a closed mind.

But, if you make it to the ARSC/SAM conference, at least see the demo that I
will be doing... it'll be good for a laugh if nothing else!
