 My name is Jerry Klein.  My college roommate, Mike Biel, 
gave me your name and email address.

A friend of mine has a 10-inch record he asked me to get converted to 
a digital file for him. It's a recording of his mother singing, 
accompanied on the piano by Hazel Scott.

The disk seems to be aluminum with a black lacquer(?) coating on both 
sides, into which the recording was cut. The center label is green 
with "PRESTO U.S.A" printed concentrically around the center hole. 
There are three additional holes, evenly spaced concentrically about 
an inch out from the center hole.

One side is 33 rpm and the other is 78 rpm, with the groove running 
from the center out.

I have already attempted a conversion using my old GE VRII cartridge 
with a 3-mil stylus, converting the speeds digitally.  But my results 
are very noisy (the disk is in poor condition, with a lot of scuffs 
and scratches), so I'm looking for someone with more experience than 
I have who might be able to do a better job.  Willing to pay for it.

Please let me know if this is something you could do for me.

Thanks,

Jerry Klein
