Who uses wax cylinders?

I have a couple, and they really sound bad! Thomas Alva Edison's old company made them...worth some money, but GEEZ!

The only reason I really posted this is because the description of this particular forum made me laugh.

Really, though, to hear a wax cylinder is an absolutely amazing experience; it can't be put into words (or at least I'm not willing to do it.)

Lightbulb Wax cylinders

You can use wax cylinders as lights. They have to have a string through the middle. Very retro, very chic.

Arrow No doubt, they do that.

But hey doc, weren't you just raving about your "wax cylinder sim" plugin?
