Hi Pete,
What is a wooden flute type recorder?
The recorder in question was a Tanberg Reel-to-Reel. In those days, voice recorders were large and unwieldly. The owner of the luger wanted the recorder and I wanted the luger. After several weeks of discussions over a few (many) beers, the trade was made. In all honesty, I thought the trade was straight up and fair (we both walked away happy). It was within the past week, after your fellows shocked me, that I realized I had the better of the deal. I would share the windfall with the guy with my recorder, if I could find him.
WR offered to trade me an AKAI recorder (with manual)for the luger. Unfortunately (for him) I have advanced to the state-of-the-art 8-track.
I am still amazed at how much information is still available on these old pieces. I would have thought most of the records were destroyed during the war.
Roger on the insurance policy. It will reside in the safe deposit box until I make a decision to sell.
Well, expecting snow today so I guess I had better have another cup up joe and another layer of warm clothes before I start shoveling again.
regards,
chuck,
