[78-L] Sixteen inch Audio-Disc transcription blanks

[David Lennick]

Just be warned that those blanks dry out over time. I picked up a few cases of 
unused AudioDisc blanks when I bought recording engineer Les Smith's collection 
in 1993, and I turned them over to Graham Newton. That, I'm pretty sure, is 
what he used when he cut some discs at one of the ARSC conferences a couple of 
years later, and the results were pretty noisy.

Blanks are great for backing broken discs though!
