There is a company called Sweetwater that can create a CD master of a vintage disc and restore it, too.

I checked out their website and a simple transfer to CD w/o any restoration work is $60 for up to 60 minutes of material.

For $269 they will remove pops, crackles, and hiss and restore it as nicely as possible.

I would double check with them to make sure they have playback equipment for your disc: Sweetwater Disc Services.

Has anybody else out there had a transfer like this done? I’d love to hear about it…

The records play from the inside out. Although I heard them a few times when I was little (I was born in 1955), we haven't had anything to play them with since I was about 10 years old. I know they aren't exciting or great quality, but still I'd like to hear them again. My dad made his own recordings in the 1930s (or maybe the 1920s). The records play from the inside out.
