    Man, i have been trying to research these Old Big Floppy Disk, LOL Well Not Floppy Disk but Magnetic Sound Recording Mat. Appeared around 1965 in those Radio Stations that could Afford them, The Mats were only 45 cents The recorder was over a $1300. and the Players were $1,100. They are believed to be the Start of IBM's Floppy Disk. Take a read at what i found. Thanks for visiting Mike I Got It, sometimes i don't know what i have. Researching is the Key and Help from my Collectors weekly Fam. Really rare. Anyone out their with a Player?

      Looks like they only were around 2 years..man I'd love to hear what's on those discs! You need to find someone with a working player or other way to convert it.
