Re: [ARSCLIST] 16" transcription player on ebay

[Doug Henkle <henkle@xxxxxxxxx>]

     I'm sorry, but it seems my technical in-expertise has muddied the 
waters.  I bought my first LP/Microgroove/33-1/3 record in 1958 when I was 
in High School.  Every 10" and 12" record I ever bought played on the 
players bought at the time and since.  Until this discussion, I thought 
LP/Microgroove/33-1/3 records were all created alike and all three terms 
referred to the exact same thing. Other than the "33-1/3" on the label, I 
do not know if what I have is an "LP" or something else, and I don't know 
how to tell what it is.  I'm sorry if I used the term "LP" incorrectly.

     What equipment do I need to buy to make a one-time measurement (and 
probably never use again) to determine whether this record has a 1 mil, 
1.8, 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8, 3.0 mil groove or something else?  I don't know 
how to tell the difference between all these varieties.

     In all the responses, no one has mentioned that they have ever heard, 
seen, or read about in print of another 16" record produced at 
UW-Madison.  Is there anyone specific I should contact in the Oshkosh / 
Milwaukee / Madison area that does have the expertise to identify exactly 
what it is I have, and whether it is the only one still in existence, 
however I doubt that it is?  Thanks.
