Don't lose hope, Millie.
I was doing photo shoots in California, and when it was time to return to New York I checked my roll of background paper with my luggage. My luggage came through alright, but the roll of seamless white was MIA. After a month or so I just wrote it off. But 4 months later it showed up after sitting in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport!

Re: Edison Cylinder Machine
Haha nice!!
I know things like that can happen.
When my great-grandmother was 91 she lost her ability to walk. She had a falling accident when she was in a wheelchair which somehow pushed her bone structure back into proper position. 5 more years and she was able to walk again. She's still kicking at 103.
I do hope the Edison shows, I have Pathé stentors I'd like to use.

Did DHL answer back?

Re: Edison Cylinder Machine
Yes they did. The package never entered the States so it's probably "stuck back in Japan or in a port".
