Re: [ARSCLIST] Beginner's question RE: digital recordings

Hi Richard,

Unfortunately the museum has no audio lab to speak of, so I am essentially 
in charge of finding out everything we will need to work on these recordings 
once they are delivered to us.  All I've been working with thus far in terms 
of reviewing the digitized recordings already in our possession has been a 
good set of headphones, realplayer, and my broken old laptop.  Now that we 
have renewed funding, we're in the position to upgrade our equipment a 
little bit!
Yes, that link is about the project that I am working on.  As for servicing 
the machines themselves, fortunately the company that is doing the 
converting of the bands to digital format has taken care of all that work.  
> From what I can tell, they have done an excellent job cleaning up the 
machines and restoring at least one of them to working order.
Thank you so much for the suggestions; I'll start looking into those.
