The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Is anyone here interested in 51 more or less bad condition Pathé wax cylinders for whatever use they may have to someone? The condition is poor (mouldy but not broken) and most are brown wax Pathé with a few black wax Pathé (see photos).

I am at the Rüdesheim fair on April 11 and 12 and can bring them along.

Cheers,
Helmut

What a pity... If mold was possible to be eliminated...

One time I got a case of Columbia brown wax cylinders that were very moldy and it was so bad that they stunk!I had to throw them away! I did keep the boxes.edisonplayer.

You can shave them and use them as a blank for recording !

I know, thanks! But neither do I have a shaver nor a recorder for my Edison Home.

I was hoping someone here would have interest in them, for exactly the purpose you suggested - shaving and recording.
