If you've got similar experiences, please share them - I'd love to see the questions you've been asked! :mrgreen:

Last weekend someone caught me:

"How many grooves has a 12 inch vinyl?"

Any suggestions?
I will tell you the answer tomorrow...

Really?

You're going with this? In all honesty, it has the same number of grooves as 7", 10", 12" 16" and most every other size.


FYI: Nearly all of them have 2. ;) and before you start arguing it's only 1 - it's actually 1 per side. :D

Although I have some 10" acetates with only 1, just like the Edison cylinders. ;)
