Victor and Columbia were the big names, followed by secondary players such as Pathe, Brunswick, Aolian and Cheney. There were many manufacturers and distributors of Victrola type machines, particularly as the market became mature in the late teens and early 1920s. Although the word Victrola technically refers to an internal horn talking machine made by the Victor Talking Machine Company of Camden, New Jersey, in popular speech this trademark came to be diluted to refer to any flat disc, spring motor record player, and this is the sense in which I am going to talk about Victrola repair. When I talk about Victrola repair in this article I am being deliberately something less than precise, because I am going to talk about Victrola type machines in general. (If you're not a do-it-yourselfer, or the task involves something major like mainspring replacement, we offer repair service for many Victrolas.) In many cases, it's not that much work to get your Victrola singing again like Caruso. You need to perform some basic repairs, or at least locate someone who can do this for you. You have an heirloom Victrola that has performed admirably throughout the years, but now needs some help.
