The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Not one in the bunch that is free of mold, pitting, or cracked. Way over priced in my opinion.

Rich, I agree...

That's a whole bunch of very rough looking cylinders

Indeed.

There is still an alternative: http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... =9&t=27878

Norman tells me the next mold is nearing completion and we have high confidence that this one will have the right combination of sonic and cosmetic excellence. We have set up to make a few extras, so if you haven't yet placed an order, there's still a bit of time.

The originals don't turn up often, and when they do, they aren't worth having in many cases. This person deserves a ton of kudos for assembling such a large quantity of such rarities, but it's probably also true that the hunt, and the having, is maybe more fun than the playing.

And egad, look at those titles.
