I have an old (and small) 78 RPM disc of me singing a song. Can you work with something like this?

QUESTION:

  • I have an old (and small) 78 RPM disc of me singing a song that my father recorded of me in about 1952 or 1953 on one of these old “cut your own” record machines that you’d pay a dollar or two, go inside a booth and record….whatever; this one having been located at National Airport in Washington, D.C. at the time. The disc is approximately 6″ in diameter, recorded on one side, and the length of the song was about 15-30 seconds if memory serves me correctly. The quality was never very good, and I’m sure that it’s diminished with age. Can you work with something like this, and if so can you give me some idea of price.
