Three Voice-O-Graph Records

This is a set of three Voice-O-Graph records I picked up recently at a local flea market. Produced by the Mutoscope Corporation, these 6” coated cardboard records were made in small booths similar to the picture booths found at most arcades. This set plays at 78rpm although later Voice-O-Graph records can be at 45 or 33 1/3rpm. These booths were in operation up until the mid 70's, at least that's the last time I can recall seeing one.

Mr. Bill's School Days Calendar

This is the 1982 “Mr. Bill's School Days” calendar which came with an Eva-Tone Soundsheet flexi. I had received this as a Christmas gift in 1981. When I think of all the stuff I've held on to and how long I've managed to hold on to it...

"Say a few words to your public"

I found this micro-cassette today at a local flea market. Although most of the tape is pretty dull, the first 17 seconds is somewhat amusing.

Ed's Answering Machine

I bought this used answering machine many years ago from some guy I met through a friend of a friend. After taking it home and plugging it in, I discovered that the original owner had not bothered to wipe the tape before selling it to me. The following is an excerpt from the original tape.
