Victrola Talking MachineVictrola Talking Machine VV-X, first produced in 1911.

This machine played the first music ever heard on an Edmonton radio station when CJCA went on the air in August 1927. The station rented it for a month and then got something better. A friend of Bernard Wiese’s from Bon Accord bought it for $7 and resold it the next week for $14 to a woman from Lac La Nonne. Bernard Wiese bought it from her.
