What sort of brush should be used and how aggressively? Can this be used for mold spots that haven't
eaten the grooves? Is there a recommended way to hold the cylinder? I'm wondering about fashioning a
tapered wood mandrel (sp?) and soaking it prior to washing so it doesn't swell and pop the end of
the cylinder.
DP -- what is your transfer method?

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Cleaning of phonograph cylinders
HiHas any one recommendations for a non-destructive cleaning solution for phonograph cylinders (both
black wax and blue amberols) to take off years of surface dirt and other gubbins prior to some
transfers? Some people have advocated water which sounds not the best solution but I welcome some
advice from those more experienced with such a technique (as I am concerned about drying otherwise)
and a general dry wipe would not clean sufficiently.Thanks, Darren¦ D P Ingram ¦ Ab Ingram Oy ¦¦
