Re: [ARSCLIST] Playing a "flexi disc"
This is actually a soundscriber disc, I think. See the picture examples on
my website, www.soundsaver.com.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Playing a "flexi disc"
I have been asked to get a digital transfer from what I believe to be a
"Flexi disc" (thin green plastic /vinyl disc with a square hole). The only
complication is that, as far as I can tell, these were LPs and, therefore,
no earlier than 1948. The date on the disc, however, is '43. We have an
osmium stylus (which we use for 78s) and a diamond stylus (which we use
for LPs). What stylus should I use for playback? (And if you have
recommendations for adding to my stylus supply, I would welcome that as
well, though I may not be able to do anything about it just yet.)
