I bought a Vestrax from Needle Dr. It plays every speed, and also has a dial to get the in-betweens (74-82 as above. To that fine Japanese table, I installed a Shure 78 cartridge which bridges left to right.
Then I got a proper '78 tube for my VTI record cleaning machine. I use Record Doctor after an initial rinsing with water (these records are so dirty the first gritty slurry can run brown, so I want that off before using a brush). After a gentle and thorough wash, the VTI provides a final rinse with purified water. Finally I use Last preservative to bring down the noise level. I was amazed at how the records just drink it in.
Now I listen to my small but growing collection more often than I ever expected.
