[78-L] Sixteen inch Audio-Disc transcription blanks

[Ron L'Herault]

The two methods that I have heard of are using original formula Windex,
which you spray on and wipe off or  use paint thinner which you apply with a
rag and wipe off.    I believe you have to follow the paint thinner
treatment with some kind of cleaning agent though.

Whats the best way to remove the wet palmtric acid (or whatever it is) from
the discs I've got that are in a 4 inch thick stack of stuck together blank
discs? I carefully peeled the first 2 off (which didn't hurt the discs)
although this sticky liquid stuff was on each disc. I suspect they'd be
noisy on playback if I tried to cut a few.....
