The Obsolete Radio-Phonograph: A Glimpse into the Early Days of Audio Technology

Radio-phonograph is an obsolete term that was used in the early 20th century to describe a device that combined a radio receiver and a phonograph player. The term "radio-phonograph" was coined to describe a device that could both receive radio broadcasts and play recorded music using a phonograph needle.

The term is now largely obsolete, as modern devices such as radios and record players have evolved to be separate and distinct from one another. However, the concept of combining these two functions into a single device was an innovative idea at the time, and it helped to pave the way for the development of modern audio technology.
