Hi Jackie, You might want to try The Cutting Corporation in Bethesda, Maryland. I've worked with one or two collections that had numerous Edison disks and Cutting Corporation did a great job of converting them to standard audiocassettes. You can find more about them at http://www.cuttingarchives.com/.

They're from the sixties and seventies (the ones I have, anyway), red, very flexible, grooved, and about the size of a 45 record. And if anyone has come across them, do you know of a company I can contact that can migrate the recordings to a modern medium? Thanks!
