[Phono-L] Courtesty

[Steven Medved]

I read the Leo Bakeland came to Edison and when they tried to use Bakelite as a record coating that the record would not come out of the mold until it was thrown on the floor causing the record to break.  

I have heard of people that found NOS blue amberols with a waxy coating and one guy that said DD's were given a coating for some years.
