[78-L] How do you successfully play a Durium recorrd?

[Peter Fraissinet]

You could try a temporary adhesive and stick it to a shellac disc.  Maybe poster-hanging putty or temporary double-sided tape (test first before going whole-hog).

I have Vernon Dalhart's recording of "Letter Edged in Black" on Durium,
9-2, seemingly unplayed, but the warp to the disc makes it impossible to
flatten enough to play without the weight decreasing the speed to where
Vernon Dalhart sounds like Thurl Ravenscroft on muscle relaxants. Anyone
figured it out? Might try playing at 33, and converting speed on Audacity,
but meanwhile, I turn to you.
