Deca Disc has the distinction to be the first record changer and the first drop changer produced. They do not seem to have been very successful, but the first Deca Disc was an acoustic machine (1 example known). Excess stock was fitted with a loudspeaker and amplifier by Ristau brothers’ Atlas Sales (2 examples known).The mechanism was also used in the 1928 Holkombe & Hoke Electramuse. We know from advertising that the company was around through the early 1930s.

Ristaucrat Ristaucrat was founded in 1892 by G.W. Ristau (Gus) as an operating business: from the coin-in-a-slot-piano to the first operator for automatic phonographs (Regina phonograph). In 1929 they did produce the "Aristocrat". In 1935 they operated about 300 automatic phonographs. But during the Thirties due to the depressions they were forced to stop production. Their first mechanism developped by Paul Smyth was sold to Rock-Ola. In the early Fifties they made a new attempt, but with no success. Ristaucrat was run by father Gus, his three sons Alfred, Harold and Arnold and his son-in-law. Models "Melodie Vendor" were produced by "Melodie-Vendor Corp. WIS". Export by Trans-World Trading Corp.; head Joe Caldron who was as well head of the Ristaucrat export division.
