[78-L] Dumbest thing you've ever done to a 78, pt2

[P G C]

Some few years ago, nobody at the office (steel making facilities) Believed me when I explained them how Phonographic recordings were made, so a take a piece of a broken 78 rpm I had handy at the moment, take it to the office, went to the metallurgic lab and place it in front as an electronic microscope, take a picture, Then some believed when they saw sound waves stamped in the shellac, but didn't understood a think.
I use lots of CDs (from Microsoft) to paint scenes and sell them in the flea market. (Not myself, mi nice, which is always asking for more CDs?
Regards...
