This is from a relatively advanced era, well into the electrical recording age.  Back in '02 you would have had to bring cylinders and a large recording horn.  I'm really into this old gear, but how do you stealth a 36" cygnet horn?

Max recording time for a 12" record is 6 minute and 59 seconds - talk about tape flips :)  - Is  this right?
