OK to play 78s with elliptical stylus?


Hi, I just bought an old, used Dual 1209 tt so that I can finally play 78s, but the only spare cartridge I have on hand is an old Audio Technica and I believe it has an elliptical stylus. Will this actually damage 78 rpm records, or is it okay to use it? If it will damage the records, what are suggestions for a cartridge that will mate well with the Dual? Thanks!

I have the Sure. It is very good. It has the bridges for mono. And cocobolo is poisonous, hee-hee. Just don't forget to clean your records. And finish with Last preservative.
