My brother sent this video to me a long time ago as well...
Admittedly, it's very funny, but obviously staged...
1. If it WAS a rare cylinder, would YOU handle it on the outside, where hand
oils can do lovely things to the soft wax?
2. I thought the cylinder was just a little bit too shiny to be a 90+ year
artifact...Sure, a 78 from that period can have quite a shine, but it's
shellac, not soft wax.
Dilg uses brown wax for his blanks, doesn't he? Does anybody make black ones?
(then again...I collect only 78s...so maybe I'm all wet?)

Personally, I think it is legit. First of all, the guys hands are shaking
like a leaf, which is a sign of someone infront of the cameras. Second, his
hyperbole about the cylinder is exactly the type you hear from people when
they are trying to say how "big theirs is" (ah-hem) I mean how wonderful
their collection is. Third, who amongst us hasn't broken a cylinder?
And at the risk of blowing my own horn, my first Roadshow had a close up of
my hands, and they were shaking as much as his.
Best,
George Glastris
