78 RPM turntable


I just recently bought a truck load of old 78s from an estate sale. I haven't had the time to even go through them yet. The ones I have are in mint condition. I mean thick records that you could hit someone over their head and not even break them. My problem is finding a turntable that will play these 78s as well as 33s. Anybody have any suggestions?

A suprising number of the Thorens turntables over the years have had 78rpm capability, including some of their more reasonably-priced models . . . this is true in their current line as well.

Keep in mind that you will need a different stylus than you'll normally use for vinyl records. Also, you can indeed break the thickest of 78s with a good impact to somebody's head . . . I'm thinking of a Patrick Swayze movie about record collectors . . .
