ditkaphone that writes to "celluloid" "geliti

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Your old acoustic machine

This reply is 2 years too late, but it looks to me that you could use steel needles, cut to the recording profile, to cut discs on this old acoustic dictating machine. As usual, one would have to use the bottom side (matte side) of plastic picnic plates as a recording material, lacking acetate discs.
People tell me that ABS plastic works, too.
