Take the cover off, run the output to the speaker through an appropriate
resistor divider pair to get approx 1vpp, run that into whatever recording
device you have.

Um, at risk of being overly simplistic I'd suggest you call your number
from another phone and record it from there.
Or, did I miss something here?

A reasonable option...IF....the answering machine has a remote access
function.
I can't help but think that the headset jack would work......if you get the
right plug and connect to the right two wires.
I'd also think that just recording into another device via microphone would
work (with some loss of quality) but experimenting with playback volume and
mic positioning might be required.
