78s need 2 Be Played At Certain Higher Speeds Some TT Still Have This Pseed Such As My Avatar the Gemini PDT-6000...............

U May Get BY For Samplin' Purposes IF U Play 45 rpm on High...........

Really old 78s are made of shellac.

foock really? Shellac comes from the excretions of the lac beetle from India and other places i can't remember. Never knew my 78's were made of the same beetle sh!t i coated my wooden doors in

First time I heard about, on topic my stanton str-80 is able to play 78's.

YEP....Jus' As I Said....................



ODD Isnt it!!!!!!!

damn, thanx for the info.

Some are also made out of acetate. But anyway, Phabs, you can sample them at 45 then double the pitch and it'll sound close enough to what it's supposed to sound like. DON"T CLEAN THOSE WITH ALCOHOL!!!!!!!!! Or an strong chemical cleaners. Most of those places that sell vinyl care products sell stuff to clean shellac 78's. I clean mine with soap and water and lay it on a towel on a table and wipe it, and even then I break 'em half the time.

d*m good stuff,,,,good info.. good to know...

yeah i tried them on my table its a tohsiba sr-a100 i put it on 45 but no luck it jus sounds mad monster like frankenstien style...

main.... i might as welll use em as ninja stars huh?


we'll see..


good lookin out on ALL that info...
thats history baby...
