WANTED: Two-minute blanks (any type, shaved)
Hello. I recently received a 2-minute recorder compatible with my Edison Standard Phonograph. It's great; however, I do not have any blanks to record. I also lack the equipment to shave cylinders down. Ideally, I would be looking for newly-made blanks. I received a check from the old folks, so my budget is large and I'm open to multiple offers. Thanks. 
Be sure to look up Samuel Murchison Seka on the interwebs for some music and phonograph reading material.

If you get a shaver for your machine I have several old brown wax blanks that need to be shaved.

I did just purchase a shaver from another member, but haven't received it yet as it was today. I'll keep you updated. Have you checked the contents of the Brown Wax cylinders?
