I just got a cylinder I won on eBay (Edison 9100, Bob Roberts' Everybody
Works But Father) to replace mine that cracked. It was advertised as in
excellent + condition, and as I pulled it out of its sleeve it looked
like it was. But as I turned it to examine it closely, I found a
strange, almost patterned number of deep circular pits among the
grooves. I'm afraid to play it in case the stylus catches in these
holes and gets ripped out. I'm attaching a picture.
I would appreciate advice (as well as any information on how these holes
could have formed -- I'm not an experienced collector, but I've never
seen anything like them before).
Many thanks,
Chris
