[78-L] Diamond Disc mould.

[Ron L'Herault]

I'll bet you could make a silicone impression of the master and play it
nicely with a lightweight pick up.   It would be akin to a vinyl diamond
disc.

Re metal part.  To play a vertical master would you not want an upside down
U shaped stylus to fit over the inverted, hill-and -dale groove? Such as the
fancy term you used, I think is what you mean, or are you staying two
trunicated styli that ride both sides of the groove. Mostly likely play them
back on a liner tracking turn table.  You could make epoxy resin test
pressings from them too  Norman B should be able to help you do that, since
they are making new Diamond Discs.  It  might be possible to make a
metallic soap pressing   I can practice this, with a regular  lateral 78
stamper that I have and see if I can get it down to a science and let you.
I imagine if the wax is fildterd 4 times it should be pure enough for a
clean copy, and almost like playing a wax master. 

Sincerely
