The UK magazine "Electronics World", which us more mature types still
call "Wireless World", sells a cd of early recording transferred from
cylinders. AFAIK they were done using a custom-built drive and a
conventional tone-arm rather than optically. Tracks range from
"Polka des English's", 1900, to "Doin' the Raccoon" by Billy
Murray,
1929.

The future was never like this!
Has a laser pickup turntable ever been on the
market? I remember reading
about R/D for one, but don't recall ever seeing one sold anywhere.
I remeber
reading about one once being developed for the cylinder records
of the 1890's.
