Texas Musicians Museum

We recently visited the Texas Musicians Museum in Irving. In my opinion, the crown jewel of the collection is a field recorder that was used by the Lomaxes when they were collecting songs for the Smithsonian. I would love to know where that recorder traveled in the years that it was used. I wonder if it was the machine that first recorded Lead Belly at Angola Prison or if Woody Guthrie ever stood in front of its mike.
