Silvertone radio/phono/wire recorder
#2

Very nice restoration!! Congrats!! I have a old "Recordio" similar model complete, in a small console type cabinet to restore, but it actually uses acetate discs instead of wire recorder. Ive had it stored away for yrs and havent attempted restoration yet. Seems the selling-point of these type home recorders were that familys could record their voices in a "audio-letter" , and mail those recordings to relatives to listen back too if they had a similar playback unit, and/or, try their luck at being a home recording star musically!? If all else failed in the early home recording studio attempts, the units also had a AM radio (some models), & the record player built-in for enjoyment as well! Nice Job!! Icon_wink
