[Harp-L] Re: Vinyl to Computer

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a music magazine from the late 1930's or early 1940's  with a  
full page  ad for a  Magnavox record player
that used no needles.  The ad states that "you never have to replace  
another needle."  The music is made on
a beam of light.  I have the magazine stored away.  If anyone is  
interested in knowing what is actually in the ad I will
hunt it down.  I thought it was odd for technology like that to exist  
that far back.  I''ve had the magazine for about 20 years.
I kept it because of the ad.
