THE PHYSICAL COLLECTION IN STORAGE
One of our most prized acquisitions is a case containing NUMEROUS 16 inch transcription discs donated by the widow of Beverly Brown, who produced many radio shows dating
back to the 1940's. We have over 100 of these shows and the turntables to
play them. Unfortunately, the turntables are not in working order, but we
hope to repair them soon. Meanwhile, we have contacts in the area who are
putting some discs on cassette. We plan to eventually transfer these to
CD Rom.
On top of the case you will notice an early model of a table-top TV set
which was donated by board member Noah Robert (Row-BEAR).
We managed to save FOUR 1-inch Video recorders and one-and-a-half TWO-inch
machines, a film chain and editing equipment when a TV station was throwing
them out.

Doug Booth, an engineer, got two teletype machines from the Associated Press
when they were through with them.

We were promised microphones and other equipment when a local radio station
was sold and upgrading to digital equipment, but somebody beat us to them.
We did take pictures of the studios and DJ Bob "Bo-Mid" Middleton.

We were given a console and monitoring meters from WADU when it was sold/leased.

Francis "Jake" Jacobs (see WWL Page 2) donated a
turntable, reel-to-reel tape recorder and several microphones. We hope
to get copies of a lot of his memroribilia from his family.
