The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

No wonder the general public is so confused!

I found this newspaper clipping attached to an Ebay listing:

Edison's Victrolas

Quote: "When Thomas Edison began producing phonographs with internal horns, they dubbed the new talking machines Victrola."

To be fair, I doubt 1 person in 1000 non-collectors would have any idea at all who Emile Berliner or Eldridge Johnson were...

The Victor Ambrolas are what caused all of the confusion...
