Any recommendations 78 rpm audiophile turntable?


A buddy gave me a ton of 78s from his now deceased uncle and I'm looking for a good quality turntable to dedicate to 78s. Currently leaning towards a KAB modded Technics 1200 mkII. Any very vintage vinyl buffs got any thoughts/advice? Prefer a newer model. Thorens and Dual also still make 78 speed tables.

Thanks

Many thanks to all your suggestions! Seems if I was bit more astute I would've seen a similar thread posted a day or two earlier. Still leaning towards the Technics 1200 modded for 78s and it appears that is what the Esoteric CVS-14 is as well. Does anyone know this as fact? The esoteric website doesn't provide the level of detail as KAB. The CVS-14 sure looks like a 1200 mkII to me. The Dual CS-5000 and the Technics SP10 Mk2 may be a bit hard to find. Not sure if I can (or want) to dedicate the $$ for a 78 only table such as the Rega P-3. Plenty of possibilities. Good to see that so many still go for the vintage 78s except that provides more competition at the garage sales and auctions!
