Dr. Mike Khanchalian (the Cylinder Doctor) does fantastic repairs to cracked cylinders using heat, dental waxes and tools. He fixed a cracked Sarah Bernhardt cylinder that I had. Afterwards you couldn't hear the repair. I highly recommend him, especially if it is a precious cylinder. If you want to use him, let me know and I can make the connection. John Robles

Is there any way to repair a Blue cylinder that has missing plaster on the inner edge? Re-shape it so there is no flat spot on the playing side from the missing plaster. About ½ inch deep and 1 inch long missing on the inside edge of the beginning song side.

Of course this could potentially make it explode too for all I know, but it worked for me. I then ran some glue over the repair (between the internal rings of an Edison cylinder. If yours is smooth inside this will not work). John "Carter, Keith" <[email protected]> wrote: The cylinders I have are not that expensive.

And the rest of the details : Address : 25 PALCE GRANDIERE City : DIJON Zip Code : 21000 Country : FRANCE When you made the payment you will have to reply me with the FULL Scanned Paper from Western Union to see that you have made the payment. After you will receive the Victor 6 With Mahogany Horn Phonograph you will have 1 day to check and verify and after that you will have to change the name from western union to my name to be able to pick up the founds. I think is a safe dale for both.. I see that you made the payment, you receive the Victor 6 With Mahogany Horn Phonograph and after change the name to pick up the money and we finish a safe deal. Let me know soon what is your answer. Many thanks for your time and for understanding, I have some hearing problems from an accident and i can`t talk with you at the phone. I hope you understand me.I will wait your reply to know if you are redy to move on the deal. Well, if anyone is still interested, I am yet in communication with the Victor VI guy. Now we have an address in France. Is there anyone near Dijon, France who could research that address? As you can see, I'm just seeing how much information this guy is willing to give me. Next, it will have to be determined if there is anything ebay or anyone elso can do. ----Art Heller From pokeefe571 Thu Jun 3 15:46:09 2004 From: pokeefe571 (Phil O'Keefe) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:42 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] cracked cylinders In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <bce4f870.8559%[email protected]> With the Blue Amberols, if you are only missing only a few small chunks of plaster you can repair the records fairly easily. I use "1 Time Spackling" compound from Red Devil. This stuff has a pretty low density and contains a minimal amount of moisture. Just spread it into the cavity and smooth it out with your finger. Use some rough grit sandpaper to take out rough spots after it dries. I've saved several records in my collection by using this method. You may be out of luck if you are missing too much plaster. The record's shape can get too distorted to repair easily. The flat spots you mention are very frustrating. I toyed with the idea of making some sort of braces to push out the flat spots while the spackling compound dries. Even if you managed to smooth out most of the flat spots, you would probably still hear where they were. If the record is only worth a few dollars, it's not worth the time and effort. -Phil Visit my Edison phonograph website: http://www.engineeringexpert.net/edphono.htm On 6/3/04 12:45 PM, "Carter, Keith" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello List, > Would like to pass these questions along to everyone. > > Is there any way to repair a black (Edison or other) cylinder if they have a > crack? > > Is there any way to repair a Blue cylinder that has missing plaster on the > inner edge?
