I have No. 9037 from the Edison-Bell series, I'se Gwine Back to Dixie, by the same group as 52089's example. I used a reamer on this, very cautiously, and (perhaps undeservedly) got away with it. It can be heard here: http://horologia.me.uk/ise_gwine_back_t ... ctible.mp3.

Re: Pink Lambert Records
I have done the same......Like Phonojim said : "Slowly & carefully, with a light touch" !phonojim wrote: Tue Sep 26, 2023 1:00 am I have a few Lamberts, all are celluloid with no core. I very carefully reamed them with my cylinder reamer without damaging them. I checked often during the process and stopped as soon as the outside end just fit over the mandrel. Work slowly and carefully; use a light touch and make sure the cylinder does not catch on the sandpaper.
