The people at RCA were amazing for their time, first these victor / victrola machines from the 20's or whenever, then the video cassettes in the late 70's and finally the selectavision CED videodiscs of the early 80's, all of which were made here in the US indiana to be specific, (my home) but yeah, they were ahead of their time

Pretty performance.

Yes, it does. Records made after the mid-thirties have softer shellac so they will wear faster on an acoustic phono. Nor is the sound-box built designed to handle the increased information on the record. Regards, J.

As a rule of thumb any label that has "Not for broadcast" or a warning like that is from the early to mid-thirties on up. Anything from the the mid-thirties on shouldn't be played on an acoustic phonograph especially with an Exhibition Sound-Box generally. Regards, J.

You keep both in great condition, 'obrien'! That's a rare legacy you have there.....
It damages the record?

great sound! although only acoustic records should be played on a victrola like this.

Really? Why is that and how can I tell them apart?

Spanier's 'Ragtime Band' version of "Dipper Mouth Blues" was recorded for {RCA} Bluebird on November 10, 1939. It was an "electrical recording", but the reproduction sounds quite good here.

Thanks, the record is in good condition and the Victrola also. I had a new sound box put on it a few years ago, at the Victrola Repair Shop in St. Johnsbury, VT. It has a good sound.
