Maybe bugs, they're so neat and round, like carpenter bee holes. But
not much deeper than wide.
The seller was very nice and refunded the purchase instantly.

Those holes or divits look like needle drops-or bugs did it????

I believe I used candle wax to fill in holes on one of my cylinders, but I
would have used a broken record. I think it was a wax amberol and I was
able to play the record.
Are they chipped or melted?
I have no idea how the holes got there, but the seller should give you a
full refund and pay return postage. E+ does not have holes.

Subject: [Phono-L] Advice please - holes in cylinder surface
I just got a cylinder I won on eBay (Edison 9100, Bob Roberts' Everybody
Works But Father) to replace mine that cracked. It was advertised as in
excellent + condition, and as I pulled it out of its sleeve it looked
like it was. But as I turned it to examine it closely, I found a
strange, almost patterned number of deep circular pits among the
grooves. I'm afraid to play it in case the stylus catches in these
holes and gets ripped out. I'm attaching a picture.
I would appreciate advice (as well as any information on how these holes
could have formed -- I'm not an experienced collector, but I've never
seen anything like them before).
Many thanks,
Chris
