YES. That's right. Now I recall that a whole series of inexpensive table model R/P combinations from RCA, made from 1939 until wartime stopped production in '42, had the word Victrola under the lid. These mostly had AC-DC (transformerless) chassis and more often had simple turntables rather than changers (although they produced both types). I would expect that some of the floor models at higher prices also had Victrola under the lid?; Seems like starting around 1938? This would close the gap down to about decade, unless others are aware of an exception that narrows the distance further.
