One of my work colleagues is in a 'Yellow Pages' situation. Her Mum used to sing back in Black & White days and the recordings only exist now on brittle bakelite 78s.
What she would like to do is have these transferred onto CD for posterity. I reckon she'd need to get each disk professionally cleaned, so that would be step A, do you think that's advisable and if so, where would be a good place to take the discs?
As for the 78 - CD transfer, would there be a sound engineer-type place where she could take them, or would it be easier to track down someone with a 78 compatible turntable and a CD recorder?
It's all a bit alien to me as I don't buy anything other than 12" slabs of vinyl and sometimes those little silver discs.
Any help would be appreciated and would make you look extra knowledgable in front of your peers! Plus I'd sort you out with my next set of freebies.
