Actually, I do have a 1945 vintage 16" player that was used to play V-Disks. Bought it at an auction in 1994 along with a bunch of 16" V-Disks. The transfer could be done as a one shot deal. If one was to record onto hard drive, one can then compress the sound i.e.;set it to flat parameters and then add reverb as needed. This has been to great success for the past 15 years(see: Naxos re-releases of historic performances from the 20's and 30's). The process is easy, getting ANYONE to release historic recordings is tatamount to me walking on water any time soon.
