SOMEBODY that wants the mono, but most of them want the OLD vinyl in
the first place. A hundred people out of a couple million is not an
effective market.

A lot more than a hundred mono cartridges have been sold over the last
couple of years, so again you're off.


Yes, the Japanese are buying them. To play old vinyl with.



*Some people would like to have shellac 78s, wide groove, to play on
Victrolas, some people would like cylinders, some would like 8 tracks,
some 4 track or broadcast cart, some would really go for open reel.

*Not enough.

In your little cave you have NO idea what's really going on in the
audio world. Open reel, for instance, is undergoing a revival.

Big revival. ONE company offers quarter inch tape at insane plus
prices, a couple of places refurb mediocre consumo decks at equally
insane prices. Sorry. When half a dozen places offer tapes and the
value of REAL tape machines starts going up then I'll say it's a
revival.
