Thanks! That's the answer that I needed. I didn't really want to trash them...they're so old, some with titles which say so much about the era. :) I would really hope that someday someone would figure out how to salvage the content! I have about 100 of them without boxes which are definitely moldy: streaky, white stains, etc.
I have maybe 200 more with boxes which I haven't really checked yet; some boxes and records match (just from peeking inside at the tops). Most are EGM. The boxes are of various types, mostly tan; at least one is foreign. There are a few dozen green boxes, Amberols, and a few Amberols without boxes which look better. I'm guessing that these are the "harder" black wax ones?? **What about BLUE AMBEROLS? Most of mine have no boxes, but look good. There must be about 300 or so. **I've also got a black "suitcase" fitted and numbered for 48 records (padded, with cones for records, but no boxes). I'm guessing that that must have been a salesman's case? **I've also got a paperboard box bottom (only) fitted for 12 records (waxes are in there now on paper cones), which is black, and has an old big white label on the end with lines to list the records. Would that have been one way they were shipped to stores? With no boxes?? Have I got records, or what?

They will sell. If there are boxes people will buy the records for the boxes. Just do not trash them! ger wrote: > What does one do with moldy wax records? > Throw them away? > Or save them for the interesting titles, with hopes that someday someone will figure out how to "fix" them? :) From d...@old-phonographs.com Sat Mar 15 15:21:32 2008 From: d...@old-phonographs.com (Daniel Melvin) Date: Sat Mar 15 15:21:54 2008 Subject: [Phono-L] Phonograph Story To Be on NPR In-Reply-To: <037301c886db$d93c32e0$6401a...@tonyandjose> References: <dd9d7c57890542e1b8cb89039a7ed...@glastrispc> <037301c886db$d93c32e0$6401a...@tonyandjose> Message-ID: <eb759a1b1bd24c2591f2fd449f942...@danpc> NPR streams their radio programs.
