Default Re: 1940 Lorenz Textophon wire recorder

Yes, please do keep us updated. It will be interesting to follow the restoration of machine that both is of such a vintage as this one, and also historically significant.

Regarding blowing the fuse, I guess there's no loudspeaker output in machine like this, otherwise, if a paper cap at the input of the output valve starts leaking and the grid goes positive, the output valve can draw quite a bit of current, possibly blowing a fuse.
