Ed, You might contact the curator at the Early office museum. There are instructions at the bottom of this web page: http://www.officemuseum.com/dictating_machines.htm On how to contact the curator. Perhaps they have copies of operating manuals that they can scan and send to you. Tom

We have 2 Edison Voice Writers Model 87000 with red recording discs. I would like to restore them so that I may listen to the disks. Is there anyone who may have an operating manual. This machine I believe was circa 1948. Would appreciate your help.
