Welcome to
PhonoJack! ☺
As you explore the PhonoJack site, don't take it too seriously.
Please smile as
you read 'some rich history
about the men and machines in the early
Phonograph industry.
Some of the great inventors involved with
phonographs including Thomas Edison, Emile
Berliner, Charles Sumner Tainter and Alexander Graham Bell all worked in
the same "Charles Williams" building at 109 Court Street in Boston during their
respective venture stage years.
I'm hooked on a variety of interests,
(people and machines) in the
antique phonograph hobby.
Look around. When you find something of
interest, click on the thumbnail photo or
bold underlined link. If you see any bugs, please
let me know.
Thank you!
