[78-L] dubs

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Yeahbut... the mother would also have to break. You can always make more 
stampers from the mother, that's why the 4-stage process UNLESS the 
mother was a plated acetate! Then it's all a one-shot as the acetate is 
destroyed in the process. You get one stamper and that's it. To the best 
of my knowledge there were no lacquers in 1928.
No?
