My uncle had a wire recorder that I would play with as a kid, recording myself to hear the strange voice reproduced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_recording That was the early '50s. He was in the radio/tv and sound system business and had moved on to tape. Other than musicians I don't know if a 'sound system' would be a viable business anymore. He would set up temporary PA systems for events, speeches, and so forth. He had a permanent arrangement with a motor racetrack and would give me a few bucks to hump around the speakers and connect them to the permanent wiring as he set up the rest of the system. My aunt worked in the concession stand so there were free hotdogs involved too.
