Vintage Aluminum Disc Recordings Playable or Transferable?

     I’d like to play several aluminum disc recordings that have been passed down.  They are quite dear to us as they contain a family member singing.  I believe these were recorded in one of those old record-your-voice booths, I think.  

 

I remember as a child, someone trying to play it on a traditional record player with not much luck.  I’ve heard that it can wreck those needles, so don’t want to try.

 

Anyone know of a way to do this, or a way to transfer the recordings professionally by a company.  

Thanks!

    You may want to try flea markets, pawn shops, yard sales, or Google search to see what you can find. 

     

    Look at this from a search I made.
