Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

My very old tape based answering died belt broke along with plastic gear.

  Now wondering if an all digital unit can be done with the pico using SD card,
  2nd 16Meg flash or spi ram. I'm going to gut the old answering unit or/and
  old phone and have a play with adding an auto dialer. I.E record the numbers
  and then playing back from a pico. I think the full number can be saved as
  a file and when played back should dial out. Like "888 777 3456" as a single
  audio file named for the person being called.Also "911 name address phone
  name address phone name address phone" in one file to send out.

  My son wants it to call him if I haven't pushed a button in 24 hours. As health
  issues have been creeping up.

  the question is how much audio can be saved on the fly?  

  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

It might be easier to gut an old phone with a dtmf chip and use that to do the dialing.

It would have all the required interfacing as well.

DTMF dialling tones are the sum of two accurate sinewaves so you might have issues with recording then playing them back.

The frequencies generated by the TONE command are quite accurate so you could use that to generate the DTMF dialling tones.  Left channel for one frequency and right channel for the other then sum them with a resistor network to get the dialling tone.

The DTMF dialling tones and frequencies are listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-tone_multi-frequency_signaling

Another way is to print a new gear for the old Maschine. Resin works fine if no heavy power needed.
