I'd like to hear the whole conversation on that wire
@notmyworld44
I am 80 now. My dad was an electronics tech, and when I was a little boy I remember him showing me a Grundig (brand) "wire recorder" that he had in his shop in Houston Texas. It was to this day the only one I have ever seen. Thanks for the memories! This comment is from Wayne in northwest Arkansas.)
@MUSIC3001-j1t
Yes, please restore, and let us listen to the entire recording.
@GHOOGLEMALE
Very cool - Whoever was speaking could not even begin to imagine the tech available today, nor that 61,000 people would be listening to him in the "future"
@Ryan.S924
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m 41 and didn’t even know this was a method of voice recording. So badass.
@informitas0117
Never in my life have I heard of a wire recorder. Pretty neat to see something new for once.
@WEBBSTER360
Here's a workaround a friend showed me. I was given a Webster-Chicago wire recorder. Upon opening it up, we discovered someone had gutted the tubes and most of the amp. Mechanically, it worked perfectly. We found a wiring schematic. The recording and playback heads appeared to be like 'humbuckers' on a guitar. I wired directly to them into my RME 12mic and was able to get a clean, hum free recording of an old Oregon pioneer talking about life in the late 1900's

I am 38, and this is the first time seeing this device. Super cool!
@twasbrillig33
Who the HELL knows how to even BEGIN to sort devices like this out? YOU are a WEALTH of fascinating information!
@IRLArgentino
I don't know why, but saying, "Somebody's voice is trapped in this wire" that blew my mind. I've never once thought of it that way. The possibilities of that idea are endless.
@Minorbird1972
I love the randomness of my YouTube algorithm. Thank you so much for saving these gems of history and documenting it for us.
@michaelkamarauskas5169
Im 41yo. and I have to say that was so interesting! Wicked tech time travel! Between seeing the wire reel working, and hearing the voice through the probe, I'm just totally amazed! You just earned yourself a new follower! REALLY COOL!!
@jamescstanley5018
This device MUST be restored, it is a piece of audio history that needs to be brought to life. I believe the wire recorder was the first tentative step in the journey of "out of studio" recording, going back to recording Morse messages in WW2. It is incredible to think of the journey from the wire recorder to the little chip used today over the course of such a short time.
@alimaleki217
I got goosebumps when the recording started to be heard. Very cool! I vote definite YES on restoration video!
@davenelson4334
58 here and I'm today years old learning about this incredible technology. If you restore it, we will listen.
@youtube_official_user
I always find it fascinating how technologies evolve over time. What impresses me even more is when people like you take the time to explore and understand older technologies—how they work and how to operate them. It truly takes a deep level of knowledge and dedication to make such systems work. Thank you!
@StainsBlue
PLEASE post entire recording!!! 🙏 This is so cool!
@drhalifax
Speaking as a big ol' nerd, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on YouTube. Thank you so much.
@jon2478
Man... I'd give almost anything to hear that entire conversation on that wire. Literally.
