Hi George,
Yes, it could be a dub from a master tape or a 33.33 original. I doubt the
latter because the high end's so clean.
I did about 1,000 acetates (16" sessions) & 78 formatted masters, also - & +
metal parts (for Tuff City & know the appearance of each.. About jargon:
what terms (if different) designate an acetate for a 78 that's completely
formatted for pressing (with lead in & lead out grooves).
1. an original first gen. acetate
versus
2. dubbed from a tape or disk such as a 16" session
Acetates such as 1 & 2 would have been plated & then made into -a -
"master" (I've seen these called "fathers" in Europe), then + "mothers"
and finally "-stampers"
Note that in this email "-" = negative grooves & "+" = positive (readily
playable) grooves.
I presume that this is not a private use dub: that'd have most likely been
cut on a 12" or 10" acetate.
I run the "-'s" backwards & use Stanton Bi-Pointed Radial Styli given to me
years ago
by George Alexandrovich. Is anyone now making them?
For the Tuff City metal parts, "fathers" & "mothers" were unplated copper.
The stampers were chrome plated copper.
