The way it was done at our GPS meeting where we recorded a commemorative brown wax was to hold the blank near a 60 watt bulb in a desk lamp and turn it by hand for a few moments. It was held maybe 3 or 4 inches from the bulb. The resulting recording came out very well.

I’m getting set up to record wax cylinders on my Edison triumph Phonograph using mainly old cut down Dictaphone blanks of a few jazz musicians at the Thomas Edison Birthday Commemoration Party I’m hosting at 6:30 this evening & would like to know the best way to warm them before recording. Any suggestions? Thanks...
