I’m not sure but I’ll presume it is.

A 1896 Victrola playing Hank Williams? Were they trying to play a 1950s record on a Berliner machine??

Re: Old newspaper articles about collectors & other phono topics
That certainly is some garbled information. I understand you mean that the internet has lots of info at your fingertips. Although just because the internet came along, doesn’t mean the data appeared like magic. I’d like to take a moment to state my appreciation for the people who scoured catalogs, trade papers, ledgers, internal memos, & archives, etc. to piece together the history we know now. Then to publish their findings in many phono hobbyist magazines that have been available since at least the sixties. I know I’m a nut, so it makes me feel good there’s someone even crazier then I am. I wanted to let them know I enjoy being able to read their work. It is also a nice touch to be able to scare up all these newspaper articles. I wouldn’t know where to find them. Thanks

Ha! All them but a few write the same sentences again and again, as if copied from advertising or instructed by someone!

Re: Old newspaper articles about collectors & other phono topics
I thought the same. Most of these are certainly NOT unsolicited statements, but they don't claim they are unsolicited, either.
I think many collectors today would share similar sentiments, especially regarding electrically recorded Diamond Discs, which this ad predates.
