What did the "V" & "M" originally stand for? The article states that "Voice of Music" was not applied to the brand until the early 1950's?Brianveggie (talk) 17:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OTHER FACTS ABOUT VM CORPORATION (VOICE OF MUSIC)

VM Corporation (Voice of Music), from the late 1950's through 1967, was the world's largest record changer manufacturer. Most of its record changers were sold to original equipment manufactures (OEM). Through most of the years of VM record changer production, VM did not put their brand name on their record changers. VM's OEM customers requested that VM delete the VM, Voice of Music, trademark from their record changers. During the peak years of record changer production, VM (Voice of Music)produced more record changers than all other manufacturers combined. In an early 1960's VM produced an audio magazine advertisement. In this advertisemnet, VM stated that they produced more record changers than all other manufacturers in the world combined, and in this advertisement,VM listed their original equiopment manufacturers, (customers), by name. BSR LTD, a British record changer manufacturer, in the 1970's, copied this ad. BSR, in the 1970's, was then the world largest manufacturer of record changers. In several countries, VM record changers were produced under license. Telefunkin, of then West Germany, was an example, of one company, to sign an licensing agreement with VM Corporation, to utilize their record changer technology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daryllukasik (talkcontribs) 03:23, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Telefunken Models

[edit]

I am glad having found out. The German Telefunken turntables licensed from V-M were called "TW 500 Reihe Wechsler" (TW-500 series changers) and seem to be clones of the V-M 950 series machines. A German language article about these can be found here: TW-500 in HiFi Forum Germany Please scroll to post 65. I am sorry for missing pictures, I will restore the article and give it to my own website when I catch time.--SGibbi (talk) 02:41, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
