The 5" vinyl records I mentioned in post #38 are a set of six single sided discs, each of which features two songs by leading Music Hall stars such as Harry Champion, Marie Lloyd, Jnr(didn't know there were two Marie LLoyds!)< Florrie Forde & Charles Coborn. They are microgrooved, and play, AFAIK, @78rpm (At any rate both 33 & 45 rpm are way too slow, and my TEAC PX300 doesn't have 78 rpm speed), hence, I guess the slogan '5 inch Unbreakable records with a 10 inch records duration of play!' In order to be able to listen to them I'll have to remove the cam gear from the BSR autochanger in my Silvertone Record Player, and play them manually using the LP tip of the flip over stylus, as the 78 tip would almost certainly damage them. Hopefully the 5g or so tracking weight won't harm them, since they were probably produced at least 60 years ago.
