By rough count, from the production figures in LFTD, Victor produced and sold about 700,000+ outside horn machines between 1901 and 1926, the sales only came close to 100,000 a year in 1907 (98,369), and dropped like a rock after 1910, being well under 10,000 a year in every year after that except 1920 when they hit 11,206. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 10:39 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] RE: Open-horned phonos
