If you own a tinfoil phonograph, or ever hope to own one, you need genuine
tinfoil. Modern aluminum foil is a very different product and gives much less effective
results than real tin. (For a full report on tinfoil, click HERE.)
The foil I offer is identical to that used by Thomas Edison himself in early
1878, custom-made to original specifications -- 100% genuine tin measuring exactly
2 thousandths of an inch thick. This is twice as thick as heavy-duty aluminum foil
but much softer and more malleable in texture.
This custom-made foil comes
in one pound rolls (not counting packaging) measuring 6 inches wide by approximately
25 feet long. Much easier to handle and less prone to tearing than aluminum, this
authentic tinfoil yields vastly superior recordings on an original or replica tinfoil
phonograph. This is the only commercial offering of phonographic tinfoil in
the world!
Due to the huge price increases rampant in the metals market, the
cost of tin has skyrocketed along with nickel, copper, and gold. I stopped selling
foil for the past year or so because of the hefty price increases but have had so
many inquiries about it that I have decided to restock it. I do not know how much
longer I will continue to supply authentic tinfoil, so please order soon to avoid
disappointment.
The price is $75 per one-pound roll. Shipping in the US is
$8.82 by Priority Mail for one roll, or $10.20 by flat-rate Priority Mail for 2 or
more rolls in one package. California residents must add 9% sales tax.
