a call for assistance

[Ken Gargett]

wondering if anyone might have one of those old non-digital hand-held dictaphones that we used to use in offices? they took very small cassettes, much smaller than the usual music cassettes. the problem, even if someone does, is that there were two sizes of these micro-cassettes (they were all called M30 or M60). i'm looking for the slightly smaller versions - only a few millimetres between the two but that is enough, of course. about the size of a large postage stamp.

i have three, covering both sizes, but the one for the smaller cassettes is dead.

the reason is that i have a heap of the tiny cassettes from many years ago and i am trying to put something together for Kenfessions for Rob.

if anyone had any suggestions where i might find such a machine in Australia, i'd be most grateful.

i still might be able to do the thing for Rob but nowhere near as well if i can't get to this stuff.

I've got one of those old dictaphones. Not sure if it is the M30 micro cassette. If I can find it (it's somewhere around at home... I think), I'll let you know.

I have an M60 if that is what you need just let me know I could drop it around to you mate.

warren, you are a champion (and the ebay idea worth a look as well - never used it so might have to learn).

a few troops for drinks wed if you are around. otherwise, we can have a crack at whenever suits you.
