Late Baby Boomers AKA “Generation Jones” unimpressed with old Victrola.
Indifference to older stuff isn’t just a “millennial” thing.

This ad shows one of Frank Seaman's experimental marketing terms for the Gramophone. The other was "Zonophone" - - years before the Zonophone as we know it appeared. The Berliner company put a stop to it.
It seems that the public was confusing the terms "Gramophone" and "Graphophone" much as they do today!
