I believe I used candle wax to fill in holes on one of my cylinders, but I would have used a broken record. I think it was a wax amberol and I was able to play the record.
Are they chipped or melted? I have no idea how the holes got there, but the seller should give you a full refund and pay return postage. E+ does not have holes.
