it'll be like a cylinder record. Yeah, my dad still
has cylinder records and a player, as do museums.
Lots of collectors as well. They are not all that uncommon in working
condition.
It's also possible to get at least some parts for them. A few years
ago, I bought my Dad a horn and 3 cylinders as a gift, and then snuck
into the attic and got down his player, and got it cleaned up and
working. Still need to find him a belt, I had to use some rubber
bands :^(
