"Thank you for the great job on the wire transfers...
It's very wonderful that your biz offers such family-building service like this. Hearing those old voices was very emotional!"

Since 1998, Avocado Productions has been transferring wire recordings to CD for happy families and archives around the world. Our work includes the transfer of a recording made of an IBM Building Dedication Ceremony in 1948 found in a time capsule by IBM employees in New York.
And we continue to do transfer work for the Vedanta Archives in Hollywood, CA. which recently received a National Archives grant.

And more and more people are experiencing the joy of hearing voices of the past by having wire recordings transferred to compact disc.

Here's what some of our customers have to say!

Read the story of how one woman's transferred wire recordings revealed an important voice and a mystery .


Every wire we receive for transfer is first evaluated. It is then digitally transferred into our computer where track IDs are placed and volume adjustments are made. After processing, the audio is recorded to a compact disc. Turn around is usually 1 to 2 weeks.* There is more info on our wire FAQs page.




If your wire looks like these two on the left, expect an additional untangling charge. Though we do accept tangled wires for transfers, there is an additional untangling charge. And no guarantee. Check our FAQ page for more information. If your wire looks like the one on the right. It is a lost cause.


Contact us for our current rates by or by calling us at 800-246-3811 or 303-719-1707.

Please Note: We have a strict policy of not transferring material that is copyrighted without proof that you have clearance. We reserve the right to refuse works that we feel may violate copyright laws.
