This is an example of the blank cylinders we make. You can purchase them in our Ebay
store. We also sell new cylinder recordings. While others do record cylinders, many do not make the blanks they record upon,
we make our own blanks, spiral core ones,made of similar formulas as blanks made in the early 1890's.
2020 marks 20 years of re-opening The North American Phonograph Company and making new brown wax cylinder records, and blanks.
The total output of new cylinders since 2000 is over a ton of new brown wax.
We do sell our wax compound by the pound. It is $55.00 per pound plus shipping. It will be annealed and filtered ready to
make blanks (cylinders or discs). The batch will come with an ideal molding temperature, and mold pre heat, which should
be followed, we will also include a 100 gram bag of stearic acid, in case you remelt the wax, you can add some to freshen
the batch up to replace stearic loss due to vaporization. It is normal for the wax to become darker, every time it is reheated.
