Under worst case results, where the rolls are still left with
wrinkling that cause random ciphering, please do not destroy these
rolls.  Get them into the hands of somebody with a roll scanner with
a curved surface such as those built by Larry Doe or Julian Dyer.

I am using a MK4 roll scanner which has such a curved surface, and
I've had very good success at archiving rolls that would otherwise
be unusable.  At very least, their musical content can be captured
for some future use.
