I once managed to solder up a Heathkit tuner but that was just 
join-the-dots stuff and when I looked at Rick's dotted lines I
immediately thought: that's beyond me. But I've just looked at it
again and it's quite straightforward isn't it? I may have a go at it.
And yes, the MiniDisc recorder has mic & line inputs.

Until then, it's the cheap-&-cheerful setting, even if the cat's
joining in the conversation. 

Thanks then to Rick for the method and Dave for the encouragement and
Jeremy for the work-around.

Is one obliged to state that it's being recorded? I sometimes bluff
them and say "This is being recorded for training purposes in how to
deal with cold-callers."  8-)
