Digitising a Flexi Disc 7 inch Record
Remember these? Floppy discs? well Flexi records actually -- these were records that were often inserted in to magazines for promotional purposes or carried children's stories. Made of soft flexible vinyl they were first produced in the early 60s. We recently restored this one for Whiteman Park Railway Museum.

Due to the nature of these records they are often in poor shape due to wear and tear over the years, some might have creases in them as they've been hidden inside booklets like the example above or have excessive pops & crackles. All these things makes playback difficult. They require care when digitising to get the best results.
If you've found some at home, drop them in and we'll assess the quality of them and transfer them to CD so that you can listen to them again.
