I transferred a few of these for a client a couple of years ago. The difficulty I had was getting the discs (which had a slight curl to them) to lay flat. My solution to the problem was to use a blank lacquer disc as a base then used the capillary effect of distilled water to hold the discs flat. I squeegeed the excess water using a linen "Texwipe". The process worked quite well. Cheers! Corey Corey Bailey Audio Engineering www.baileyzone.net On 4/20/2015 6:32 PM, Tom Fine wrote: > These were called Evatone Soundsheets back in the day.
