If you look on my homepage the new 2 minute brown wax cylinder blank has come
to fruition. The molds have been in planning since last summer, and the
prototype was tried out a few weeks ago, and produced historically accurate
blanks. It makes my old blanks look pretty crude, I will admit. Sorry guys
for this, but I like improvement! They are shaved to maximum diameter of
2.185" The blanks are spiral core, like original blanks and are 2.8" in long,
(They are checked on 3 phonograph mandrels to make sure they fit all machines
before leaving., These blanks offer more recording time, and can be used to
make masters for the hard non metallic soap records, that other make today.
The molds can also produce 20th century blanks, and Ediphone blanks, When
blanks come out of the mold they are 2.42" in diameter. The new equipment, is
proprietary information, and will not be shared.
