If I remember correctly he was getting his cylinders from Vulcan in the UK, and I don't think Wizard exists anymore.
Perhaps someone can confirm or correct me on this.

On the Wayne photos page from few days back

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=53885

5th picture seen here is what looks like the back of Mr Dilg and some Wizard cylinders on a stall.
Many of the Wizard titles were exclusive and recorded by Peter and the molds and records made by Vulcan.

Seconding the request for contact information on Wizard Cylinder Records--Vulcan isn't stocking records very quickly at all these days, and good 2-minutes are fun to find.

So I checked Vulcan Records' website and they are not coming up. It's taken a few days worth of experimental trying, and a few online outage test sites, but I can't get vulcanrecords.com to work.

Anybody heard anything new?

That's disturbing. I can't access their site either.

I was just thinking the other day that it's been a while since I've had any email updates from Vulcan. I've been a steady customer for a long time. It would be very sad indeed if they were to close up shop. I absolutely love their cylinders.

I just made a purchase from Vulcan a few weeks ago, it was acknowledged and shipped promptly.

Peter can be reached at 516-223-0533. He seems to prefer calls rather than texts or emails. Just keep in mind that he’s on NY time.
