Gray Audograph soft vinyl recording cutting lathe dictating dictation machine, Case & microphone 1949 - Brown wrinkle paint

This incredibly compact recording lathe is untested and includes the beautiful original mic (with temporary on and lock-on mute switch) and original case. It has one disk, which can be resurfaced for use! There's a full mono 6V6 tube amp inside with a tiny AlNiCo speaker, as well at heaps of fiendish gearing to make the lathe operate. Gearing seems to move as it should.

Power cord needs to be replaced before you start poking around and bringing this back up gently. It's probably wonderfully lo-fi based on the slow needle speed.

Some more info from others: "Gray Audograph disks are blue flexible grooved disks with a star center hub.  They play with a constant speed under the needle that is achieved by rotating the disks with a variable rotational speed of approx. 33 rpm to 15 rpm starting from the center and playing outward towards the edge.  The needle is fixed and the record platter rotates and slides with an intricate mechanical design.  The spacing between the record grooves is approx. 0.100mm (0.004-inches).  Disks can be "resurfaced" to remove the groves and can be reused.  Soundwriter machines will record and playback 20, 30, and 60-minute disks."
