[Wire recorders?]

I got my hands on two very old (tube type) wire recorder/players
that say they are "Mohawk Message Repeaters". One works and one
doesn't, and my sister fixed the working one. I have no clue how
old they are or anything about them, but we have two cartridges
for them. They were installed in an elevator and used to play
"Please stand clear of the door" when the doors opened.

I'm playing with the non-working one to see if I can fix it, it
appears as though the amplifier or read head is damaged. The
tubes are still good, I already checked that. But I don't have
lots of time to spend on it.

I should note, though, that the working machine was fixed by my
sister, and it's her first piece of obsolete consumer electronic
equipment she repaired. (Even if it was a simple belt-swap).
I was so proud. ^_^
