[78-L] 3 seconds of nuttin'

[David Lennick]

Dave was talking about a recording where the repeat was already part of the 
dub. Hey, I have a white label pressing (source unknown) where one side is a 
dub of someone singing You Are My Sunshine, in Ukrainian, from a worn 78 with 
several skips and repeats. Lotsa luck with that.

(Haven't been able to get through to 78-L for a couple of weeks thanks to 
something weird with the world's oldest telephone company..trying a roundabout 
route)

groove under a microscope but could see no obstruction but the groove remained 
stubbornly locked. Finally, after much more time than I should have spent on 
this, it dawned on me, (light bulb over my head), that the period of rotation 
of the locked groove was of a 33 1/3 rpm disk, but I was mastering a 78! The 
locked groove was recorded! It was easy to repair by removing the repeated 
revolutions but elsewhere on the set there was a skip ahead, (once again as 
recorded), that couldn't be repaired. Scratch that project!
I once was able to repair a locked groove with a magnifying glass and a
pin caused by a dig. Did not miss any data. Lucky.
