If you don't want to make your own cutting stylus contact Paul Hodgson at Expert Stylus Co on info@expertstylus.co.uk - they are the greatest!
I think Martin is right regarding the four minute question. There looks to be some traces of colouring on the recorder top and the four minute ones had a green dye. Having said that the cutter mount is quite different from that in the Frow book. Could it be a non-Edison replacement, a later modification or an ICS cutter as suggested?

For acoustic playing I agree with Tim and others that it makes sense to use a Model B or even the lighter Standard Speaker or Automatic. However while nothing beats an acoustic cylinder played acoustically in the case of early brown waxes I would be tempted to record them electrically then put them somewhere safe and listen to them on CD. These tracks are too valuable to risk.
