Do you have some moldy brown wax cylinders that are no longer playable? Why not have them blanked and made useable for recording?
I have an Edison shaving lathe, and it shaves to a near-mirror finish. Cost is only $3 per cylinder.

Short lived LONG PLAY reproducer used to play 24 min 10" Discs, and the 40 min 12" Discs.
Note the word LONG stamped into the head, and the canted angle. This has a significantly smaller
stylus tip radius to play the near-hair-thin grooves of Edison Long Play Diamond Discs. The reproducer body
is also angled to counter-act lateral forces and help keep the stylus from skipping. Long Play Discs
must ONLY be played with a Long Play reproducer AND Long Play GEAR SET.
The gear set slows down the horn/reproducer tracking to necessitate playback of these microgroove records.

From L to R: Early Standard weight, Later Standard weight (smaller hole=slightly heavier), Dance/Edisonic weight (heaviest @ 10 oz avg!)

Edison Diamond Disc DANCE reproducer, with 3-screw flange between top tube and reproducer body.
This was released to play ACOUSTIC Fox Trot "dance" Diamond Discs before the electrically recorded
Diamond Discs were released by Edison. Its later rendition, the "New Standard" or "EDISONIC" is technically different
in that the Edisonic diaphragm is thicker, and does not have a suspension spring above it (that is why the Dance
has a flange, to access the suspension spring).

Detail of special electric pickup on Edison C-2 Radio Phonograph
The C-2 is capable of playing electrically recorded Diamond Discs, as well as Needle Type records via insertion
of a Medium Tone steel phonograph needle.
