"Repurposing" a Dictating Machine
Guys:
Just finished an ongoing, spare-time disc embossing project, taking an old SoundScriber dictating machine and converting it to record on discarded CDs and DVDs. A simple project and lots of fun. I wrote it up and posted it; there's link to listen to it too.

Comments, criticisms and expressions of "What a supreme waste of time!" all welcome!
Cheers

Super cool. Might have to something similar with my Edison machine.
