I have about 2,000 78's in my collection. I have about twenty of the old thick Edison records (flat but thick) that were made 1900-1920. They can be played by a stereo styllis as the sound is on the sides of the groove. I also have an old 1903 one sided Victor (I think) of a conversation of two Irish Washerwomen. Flat records (hard rubber) were made from the 1890s along with the cylindar records. I have only one cylindar record which I cannot play as I don't have a cylindar phonograph. But even at over 100 years old, the records are still in good shape.
