hmm yummy

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

I made a chocolate record out of a stamper a few years ago.. It sounded pretty darn good, except that I didn't have a vibrating table to get the air bubbles out. I'm going to try making one using a rubber mold. Probably do that next week or something.

No it hasn't, that was a different chocolate records video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LavSdy8mf_s )

Piaptk, you should make several molds, and get friends to help you pour, and make a "run" of one of your releases on limited edition hand-made chocolate :lol:

Side note - The video says Mr. Lardong (the guy in the video who looks to be less than 60 years old) created the world's first chocolate record. However, the first chocolate records I've seen are from around the 1910's, commercially made toys by Stollwerk & Company, acoustically recorded, vertically modulated, and they played on a spring-wound stamped sheet-metal toy phonograph - pics, including a rare surviving record (no bite marks :lol: )

It also says "several companies in Japan are interested in buying the patent..." If he DOES have a patent, it's totally Worthless! You can't PATENT something that's already been done in the 1910's by someone else; and you can't patent the concept of molding stuff out of chocolate... but I guess it doesn't hurt to Try :lol:
