I was curious at one point to ask if you could play a dictabelt on
Kurt's
Archeophone.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Dictabelts

I'm trying to find resources on grooved dictabelt recordings
(restoration
and care, playback, etc.).  I'm looking specifically for information
on
restoring pliability to grooved dictabelts.
