Haven't those lovely folks finished the optical groove information retrieval system we were posting about months ago (that I've been saying SOMEone should've been able to get up and running for years now)? Thank goodness for Mr. Dilg and his efforts, but what a cinch that kind of restoration would be if done optically instead of mechanically!

I thought it should be mentioned that it was Peter Dilg ( Wizard Records) who restored the cylinder for the Edison site. It was in several pieces, and had to be assembeled without using any perment glue or epoxy. The earliest sound film could not have been restored without his efforts.
