I've seen / read about sound recordings released on cassette for
LO-v's; R1-9's; AB's & D-Types.
As asked in the subject line, anybody seen /know of any recordings of
Hi-v's in revenue service?

Not too likely. They were built long before the invention of magnetic tape and most were out of service before portable tape recorders were created.

Well, maybe one could surface. They were running until '57 or '58(?) and by that time some enterprising railfan(s) could have carried a samller reel to reel onto the train, along with a portable battery.

I read about some students, from Brooklyn Tech (? - not the right name I know, but I mean the engineering school in Brooklyn) who did this with a full size tape recorder & battery on one of the earlier Lo-V trips during the '60s

Maybe someone could record either the Hi-V at Branford, or Seashor operating. You would only be hearing the "outdoors" sound however.
