Tim, A really nice black wax cylinder can be that shiny. I'll show you sometime.

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?) tmh --------------------------------- Yahoo!
