[78-L] Audio Restoration saves family recording

[Ron L'Herault]

And I'm doing it in the Attleboro/Providence area.  I'm not a pro at it by
any means but I get decent results.   I've done some home recordings that
let people hear their deceased loved ones' voices again too.  It is quite
rewarding (and I am not talking about money at this point).  I was able to
help Bruce Young get digital copies of his cylinders to the folks at
Archeophone for their "Actionable Offenses" reissue project.

I have been considering doing the same thing... perhaps this is a good
chance to put forth some kind of network of home-audio-restorists?

I can do it in denver...

I wonder how much money could be made in doing audio restorations from
home?  I could do to be pulling in $1000-1500 a month but at present I'm
living in the boonies of north central Arkansas....any ideas?
