I've seen BA cylinders that have a purplish hue to them, but not like the Royal Purple series. I wonder if it is a BA that is a bit bleached out or something? Can you post a pic? John Robles

When we looked at it, it did not start with "29**", it had the number of "3790" title: everybody wants a key to my cellar" Not what I was expecting when she said she found a "purple" cylinder. She claims it is the same "purple" color. The lettering is not gold however, it is "white". So..: What is the deal? I thought all purple cylinders were from the "29**" series! later Bob _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
