Abstract
A method for reconstruction the original groove configuration of a phonograph record. The methodology comprises providing an instrument for making measurements of the geometry of a groove of a phonograph record with the instrument in communication with a computer and the computer executing a reconstructive analysis code thereby reconstruct the groove geometry of the phonograph record using data obtained from the measurements of the geometry of the groove.

Method for reconstruction of a groove configuration of a photograph record, comprising the steps of:
- providing an instrument for making a measurement of the geometry of a groove of a phonograph record, the instrument in communication with a computer executing reconstructive analysis code;
- making a measurement of the groove of the photograph record by means of the instrument;
- communicating the measurement between the instrument and the computer executing reconstructive analysis code;
- and
- executing the reconstructive analysis code thereby reconstructing a groove geometry of the photograph record.
Method for virtual playback of a phonograph record, comprising the steps of:
- providing an instrument for making a measurement of the geometry of a groove of a phonograph record, the instrument in communication with a computer executing reconstructive analysis code, the computer having means to produce sound waveform;
- making a measurement of the geometry of the groove of the phonograph record by means of the instrument;
- communicating the measurement between the instrument and the computer executing reconstructive analysis code;
- executing the reconstructive analysis code, thereby creating a computer model of the groove geometry;
- and
- generating sound based upon the computer model of the groove geometry.
