DIY Gramophone
Over
at Kempa.com, they've got a good review
(with photos and video) of the
wicked cool Japanese gramophone kit. It's basically some plastic and styrofoam
bits that when pieced together allows recording of audio to the plastic surface
of CDs and the like. It works just like the recorders of 90 years ago, except
that they probably didn't use discarded CD-Rs to write on. Probably. The whole
thing is $30-$70 depending on your importer - they're just now hitting the U.S.
verycoolthings.com
looks to be the importer of choice
($70)
Sound is predictably tinny and awful, but so was the original. So record those tunes to a medium that even the RIAA can't touch, and party like your great grandpa...
