[78-L] Romeo 1490 - who art thou?

[David Lennick]

Could the notations in the dread wax have been made by a previous owner? I've 
had discs like that. I have a batch of near mint Victor Orthophonics by Marimba 
Centro Americana that appear to be store stock, and some have dates scratched 
in the wax, not apparently the work of a Victor engineer.
