Do some googling for nitrocellulose base film or negative cleaner. I
suspect that ammonia is not real good on it.There usual selection of
household cleaners do not strike me as the thing to use.
Wax records can be cleaned in lab glassware cleaner or the Beer Glass
Cleaner for hand washing just as well.
Any temperature differential across the 4min wax will result in instant
disassembly.
Windex is for windows.

I'm sure most on this group know a safe and effective way to clean a 4 min.
BA or any celluloid cylinder. Obviously do not get the interior wet but can
water on a cloth with a little dish washing detergent followed by a thorough
'rinse' and a careful cloth 'drying' be the way to go about it? Being a DD
collector I don't think celluloid would do to well using the same thing I
clean DD with. :-)
What about the earlier 4 min. black Amberols that are so fragile? Can I use
the same process and materials used for celluloid?
I'm finally setting up my cylinder machine after Steve rebuilt the
reproducer for me. It's been stored away far too many years.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
