Jesus, that's a friggin' STEREO setup! Now if they could only
find both of the cylinders and sync them up....

This has been done a couple times, both with the cylinders and with some
discs where a safety was run.

With the cylinders, there was no good method for mass-production, so they
were recorded simultaneously on a lot of machines and then a lot of takes
being done. This makes it interesting in that you can get several cylinders
with slightly different performances on them. This can make it hard to find
a pair for stereo, but it also means that some cylinders are more valuable
than others even of the same song and performer.
