Undoubtedly, but which wax?

There's yellow paraffine, brown, black, blue and green Amberols and the rest to chose from.

I think we should be told.

read it recently, one label still makes wax cylinders via a bloke with a guitar at the end of the horn, spanking away for two minutes, (who hasnt?), I'm not kidding either. There is an avid following. Isnt it like making drill bits out of marzipan? :shock:

I'm back now after some commitment juggling...
