The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Just started the 2014 production-run of
premium grade brown wax recording blanks
for use on Edison cylinder phonographs.

These blanks are produced in very limited
quantity, only around 50 per year are made.
Each blank is thoroughly tested before being
shaved, boxed, and shipped.

Each of these blanks is 4.53 inches long
which provides 2.5 minutes of time. Each
blank comes in its own cylindrical cardboard
record box which has a brown cardboard cap.
These boxes are lined with soft batting
material to protect the surface.

They are shipped in USPS flatrate priority
mailing boxes. Orders of 6 or less use
a medium flatrate box, and orders of 7 to 12
use a large flatrate box.

These blanks are guaranteed for 100% complete
customer satisfaction in every way. Each order comes with a packing slip which lists
each blank by serial number, date made, and
outside diameter as shipped. Each blank has
its serial number and date made engraved on
the title end. These blanks have absolutely
no ticks, pops, nor bubbles in them. They have extremely low surface noise, and they
are made to record accurately yet stand up
properly for playback. See website
http://www.richardslaboratories.com for
many demonstrations of them.

They are $35 each, plus shipping.

Just want to also point out that these
blanks, being 4.53 inches long, are designed
to use the full length of the Edison phonograph mandrel.

These extra-length blanks come in record
boxes which are slightly taller than a standard Edison record box.

For those who wish to purchase them at
the standard shorter length of 4.25 inches,
they can be trimmed down to that length
for no extra charge. In that case then,
they are boxed in standard-length boxes,
which are the same height as standard
Edison record boxes.

So, you have your choice: You can have
them at the extra-length of 4.53 inches long,
or they can be cut down to the standard
length of 4.25 inches.

Same price either way. $35 each.
