Repairing Wrinkled Rolls
By Jim Canavan
Thanks to a posting on last Thursday's MMD, I purchased some wonderful rolls out of a huge collection in Arlington, VA. Among the rolls I purchased were several "Pictorolls" -- theme music for accompanying silent movies. One of these rolls has moisture-caused wrinkles in the first 10 feet of the roll. It's not very bad, but the wrinkled paper passing over the tracker bar does cause several extra treble & bass notes to sound.
Is there a way to fix this? Can one use a warm iron to smooth the paper? I'd appreciate any hints on this. The roll in question is, of course, one of my favorites out of the bunch, a fast, bang-up version of Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" overture! Thanks!
