Did your catalog mention the number released? If mine wasn't buried away in safe storage I would dig it out and try to see if it said, but I dont think it did.

I remember buying mine off the shelf for about $40 US dollars, but I wouldn't sell it for any price, of course. In fact, once I got it, I proceeded to begin collecting all the picture sleeved 45s and believe I have most.

The most important piece of equipment you'll need to get your vinyl 45s onto cd is an audio interface that translates the analog signal from your stereo into digital form on your computer. In the past year or two there have been a pile of the interfaces released both for USB and Firewire. Some of the companies that make these audio interfaces include M-Audio and Edirol. Then you'll need software to record the 45s on your computer, possibly something to clean up the pops and clicks you get from vinyl, and finally something to burn those recordings onto a cd. I think Toast by Roxio can do all of that.
I'm sorry I can't help with more specifics, but my set up is quite expensive since I also use it more creating my own music. I run the audio from my turntable (with built-in amplifier) into a MOTU 828 audio interface and record the results using Peak Pro 5. I use SoundSoap Pro to clean up the recordings. I use Roxio Toast or Jam to burn the cds, but these days the recordings just go straight onto my iPod.
Hope that helps.

I have a stand alone CD-R Recorder, which works like a tpe deck. While there are some who prefer to digitally clean up the records, I take a more purist approach and record directly from my turntable (Michell Gyrodec, SME 309 arm, and Koestsu Rosewood Sig. cartridge). I think its more important to have good analog playback than to digitally edit anything.

Cheers,
