Not sure how many of you caught the Tonight Show last night, but Jack White (from the White Stripes) was on with Neil Young and he brought his Voice-O-Graph coin-op recording booth.  Very neat machine, it records your song directly to vinyl that you can take with you.  Here are the clips from the show:

that is absolutely fantastic. I bet there are a number of big time pop stars out there now looking for their own booth.

That is really cool. Never even heard of one of those!

I'm a big Neil fan, but 3 minutes of "Crazy" almost made me crazy!

I bet that is worth some big buck$ though!

Thanks for that!! Huge money for one, can't be very many left. I recall a much newer version next to a "Take Your Picture" machine at Knots Berry Farm, CA. circa early 70's.

I have customers who have the recorders, with no booth, but the replacement blank records and needles just don't make the restoration worth it.
Now if you have Neil young's  income.... Smiley

I purposely have my kids work with me on my Seeburg 100G jukebox and they get to select the records they want in it a couple times a year.. and I have gone through what records are and how the work with them.. they seemed pretty interested in it.. so hopefully that sparked something in them..

I would not be surprised if a couple turned up now that it was on TV and people saw what a great vintage piece that it was.
