Hold yer horses there, cowboy. You canot play black wax Edison 4 minute 
records, which are marked 4M but are made of wax that has become very brittle 
with time. Those can only be played on an Edison cylinder player with a model H 
reproducer. The Oxford Indestructible can be played on it, but the surface 
tends to shrink with time and the grooves skip. I think they are better played 
with a model H also, but that is one person's opinion.
  Any indestructible type 4 minute record can be played on your amberola, just 
not the Edison black wax amberol (or any other 4 minute wax record, if there 
are any), which usually come in green boxes.

  I have an Amberola 30. I was told I can play anything with a 4m mark on the 
cylinder and BA's. Is this true? I would like to purchase some 
Oxford/Columbia 4 minute records. Can I play them? Thanks
