Sound Scriber Vintage Portable Record and Playback Dictation Machine (Pre-Owned/AS IS)

A Sound Scriber is a record/playback dictation machine introduced in 1945 by The SoundScriber Corp. of New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

It records sound with a groove embossed into soft vinyl discs with a stylus.

The machine has two tonearms: a recording arm driven by a worm gear that creates the groove with a diamond stylus, and a pickup arm with a sapphire stylus for playback.

The machine could record 15 minutes of dictation on each side of a thin (.01-inch) flexible 6-inch vinyl disc spinning at a rate of 33-1/3 RPM, at a density of 200 grooves per inch.

The format remained popular for two decades before it was replaced by magnetic tape recorders.

This collectible vintage dictation machine is untested and sold AS IS.
