In the first instance, however, it would be helpful if you could answer the following questions:

1. What is the largest (physical) size disc you need to transcribe (i.e. 12”, 14”, 16”, 18” or 20”)?

2. What range of speeds do you require (i.e. 33, 45 & 78 fixed speeds with minor adjustments only, or a full-range high-precision motion control system)?

3. How many separate cartridges do you regularly employ (excluding plug-in styli)?

4. Approximately how large is your disc collection (i.e. number of discs in total)?

5. Do you have any discs requiring special or unusual transfer characteristics (i.e. counter-clockwise direction, constant linear velocity, etc.)?
