I ended up with his treasured Jerry Colonna 78s, including a couple of lacquers 
Jerry had sent him (nothing unissued, just reference copies).

Often in my career with CBC radio, when we were broadcasting old 78s or even Lps which were noisy, we had a water bottle with an eye-dropper lid with which we would wet the record while we were playing it.  We did this mainly on old transcription turntables which had arms weighing a pound or two.  When using more modern light-tracking arms, it has to be done judiciously because if you apply too much water, the stylus will start hydro-planing, which can be distracting on live radio.  I think this was a method used when necessary by Clyde Gilmour, (a local collector who had a program called "Gilmour's Albums").
