America - Remember the old wind-up phonographs, especially the Edison? I was doing some research on them recently and found out some things I did not know. Such as cylinder phonographs peaked in popularity around 1905. After 1905, the discs and disc players, most notably the Victrolas, began to dominate the market. Columbia records, an Edison competitor, had stopped marketing cylinders in 1912. I am still searching for the old disc phonograph that I had stored at my parents home during their probate. It was not an Edison, though. I think it was a Columbia disc phonograph. |
