Prabhupāda: It is zero. Then one it comes. (sound of Prabhupāda's voice on tape recorder)
Devotee: Coming very low.
Pratyatoṣa: That's all right.
Prabhupāda: That's all right.
Pratyatoṣa: It goes up to ten.
Prabhupāda: I know that.
Pratyatoṣa: So this is what I planned on doing with the money, but then Bhavānanda and the GBC wondered about whether maybe the Book Fund or the around-the-world trip would have higher priority. So that's why I just wanted to donate the money, so maybe after I'm gṛhastha I could get this for you.
Prabhupāda: This money?
Devotee (4): Yeah, he wanted to donate this money for a tape recorder.
Pratyatoṣa: Yeah, but . . .
Devotee (4): The GBC suggested that he give it just to your Book Fund or else to pay for the around-the-world tour, to help pay for it.
Pratyatoṣa: They thought that might have higher priority than . . . it's a project, I wanted to set up a library of all of your tapes and make them available to everybody and preserve them, and have them all indexed.
Prabhupāda: Yes, I wanted a tape recorder.
Pratyatoṣa: Do you think this would fit your needs, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Yes, I wanted. I wanted to purchase one Stanberg.
Pratyatoṣa: Tandberg?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Pratyatoṣa: Well, we have a Tandberg here that you can use. I had it in Detroit, remember? It's a very, very good machine, and I'm going to leave it here in New York because I have to go to Minneapolis for some training because of my job.
I have a job as a computer programmer, so I have to go there for a while, but I'll be back in New York. But I'm going to show Gadādhara and Candanācārya how to use it so they can use it, and then you can use it during the daytime. It's a really good machine.
Prabhupāda: So where is that machine?
Pratyatoṣa: Pardon?
Prabhupāda: Where is that machine?
Pratyatoṣa: That's a Tandberg.
Devotee (4): Now it's in the temple. I use it when Your Divine Grace is speaking.
Prabhupāda: So where is that machine?
Pratyatoṣa: It's in the temple room right now. It's connected to the P.A. system and a microphone.
Prabhupāda: So you bring it and we will see. Hmm?
Pratyatoṣa: Okay. I have to leave tonight, but I'll instruct Gadādhara and Candanācārya how to use it while I'm gone.
Prabhupāda: Tandberg machine is nice.
