Oh, and for what it’s worth, I bought a “wire recorder”/record player/radio from 1943. You don’t see wire recorders anymore. They were replaced by “tape” recorders. :)

I didn’t know those were a real thing.

The only ones I saw were on episodes of Hogan’s Heroes.

Believe it or not, the wire recorder was invented in 1898 by Valdemar Poulsen. He called it the “telegraphone”.
