A roughly one-minute TV clip in which a guest accidentally breaks a rare, one-of-a-kind wax cylinder recording on camera.
Shared as a darkly funny moment of televised schadenfreude in threads about early audio formats and cylinder archives.

I was watching G4TV back in 2002 when this happened: [VIDEO] A museum curator (I believe) is a guest on the TV program and showing a rare one of a kind wax cylinder Edison phonograph recording when tragedy happens...
I can't help but think of one of my favourite moments of televised schadenfreude when audio cylinders get mentioned. [VIDEO]
Everytime I see articles of these wax cylinders I always think of this video on Chris Pirillo’s old show: [VIDEO] 30 second video but kind of entertaining depending on your taste in humor.
