Telegraphone Style C Wire RecorderUS Telegraphone Style C; sn. 30-AC, motor no. 198827 Most persons are not aware that magnetic recording predates the widespread introduction of audio tape in the 1950s. Vintage audio collectors, however, are generally familiar with wire recorders dating from the 1940-50 era made by Webcor and Wilcox-Gay. But even long-time collectors are often surprised to hear that commercial magnetic recorders were sold decades earlier. The item for sale here is a wire recorder dating from the 1915-20 era. There are two things you need to know about this machine. The first is that it is exceedingly rare; you are unlikely to run across another one, which is why they are sought after by collectors of early office machinery such as calculators, typewriters and the like. The second is that this machine weighs around 70lbs, so you'll not want to drop it on your foot.I cannot tell you whether or not the machine works. As you can see, the original cord would not be safe to plug in and I have no attachments with it anyway. What you see is what you get, though I seriously doubt anyone has ever removed the mechanism from the case.This super rare piece would be a splendid (if not essential) artifact to add to any collection having to do with the history of recorded sound.Shipping cost will vary depending on destination.
