<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 571400, member: 55&quot;]I imagine the online searching is complicated by the fact that &quot;vitaphone&quot; referred to three or four different companies. A very early phonograph was called the vitaphone, marketed by the American Talking Machine Company; shortly later, an unrelated company began making vitaphones, in Plainfield NJ (this is Journeymagazine&#039;s one).&nbsp; The Canadian Vitaphone company was an affiliate of the NJ company.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; None of these were the same as the vitaphone process that was used to accompany silent movies, which was owned by Warner Brothers.&nbsp; But, most online searches return to the movie-related vitaphone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a thread devoted to the Plainfield Vitaphone type 60, very similar to the type 75; don&#039;t know if the forum is helpful, or still around: <a href="http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=4954" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=4954" rel="nofollow">http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=4954</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Article on the first two Vitaphone makers:</p><p><a href="https://intertique.com/VitaphoneDemo.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://intertique.com/VitaphoneDemo.html" rel="nofollow">https://intertique.com/VitaphoneDemo.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>another vitaphone thread, the last post mentions a book which includes Vitaphones: <a href="http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11354" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11354" rel="nofollow">http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=11354</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
