sampling 78's

So I'm moving soon, and six months ago I found a few crates of some really dope 78's for free. I've sampled a few things, and granted they are 78's, noisy as hell, pops, etc. Manually I've cleaned up the pops and hiss as much as I can without changing the audio itself, but it still sounds like crap. Has anybody successfully sampled 78's with good results, cuz after f'in with it in my sample editor, I still can't get the signal to noise ratio good enough to use in a track. I've toyed with different gain levels when I sample too, cuz I know that adds to the noise if too high. I don't want to toss 'em before I move if possible, but as of now I can't rationalize spending the money to ship 'em across the states. Any info mad appreciated. Peace

78's are very old good luck tryin to clean them , what you have done is prolly the best you will get as they are very old records,

let me tell you this DON'T TOSS THEM take them to the thirft store some body will buy them .

DON'T JUNK ANY OLD RECORDS YOU DONT USE TAKE THEM TO THE THIRFT STORE TO BE RECYCLED BY SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN USE THEM , BE TRUE TO THE CULTURE.

f cleaning them...use them as is ...pops and hiss are cool.
