If you are willing to do it, go right ahead. But maybe this level of technology infringes on the 1890's technology that attracts collectors in the first place...
The attraction to "Talking Machines" is due primarily to their simplicity and a view into early entertainment methods. It's like researching in a library card index with the Dewey Decimal System - not automated with AI or SIRI voice commands. Half of the fun is not just having antiquated, obsolete machines, but researching them through old ads and taking them apart to fix and learn about them. Much of the important information can only be learned through direct contact with them.
I've been messing with computers since their inception, so I understand the desire to have immediate information available (mostly based on individual opinions). Sometimes the extra research is worth the effort.
But, just like streaming old 78s or cylinders on YouTube, etc. it is not the same as listening to original recordings on period equipment... Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
