The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have a handful of Columbia Viva-Tonal records and I can say it seems they are less common than the Victor Orthophonic records. I think the Columbia Viva-Tonal records are somewhat thicker and durable than the Orthophonic records.

I am thinking that radio probably caused the slowdown in Columbia sales.

Plus, Viva-Tonals in good condition have amazing sound quality, and minimal surface noise...
