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.

Aireon Manufacturing Corporation Aireon, founded as Aircraft Accessories in 1937, produced electronic and radio equipment during the war. In December of 1944 they were renamed to Aireon Manufacturing Corporation and entered the jukebox market in 1946. To do so the tooling began already in 1945. Within three years only they produced six models which were partially available with various features and in different colour combinations. After having major financial problems Aireon did close in early 1950.

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.
