Hello, all:
Why does one see so many more open-horned Edison machines than Victors? Even
if one allows for Victor's early switch to internal-horned designs, their
open-horned models still seem to be rare, and expensive, compared to their
similarly priced Edison counterparts. This seems odd, since open-horned
Victors
are the most recognizable symbol of early phonographs to non-hobbyists. ( I've
shown photos of my Triumph A to more than one person, only to have them
respond by saying, "What is that?"). If I am showing my ignorance, so be it. I
would like to know.
Randy
