You can also do the same with eBay! Don't give up! I have a 78 with my grandfather singing, recorded back in the 30's. Haven't heard it in years. I think I'll give my friend Mike a call. He may have a player. He does a webcast radio show on ACB Radio called Mike's 78 decade (IIRC) or something like that. Maybe it's 78's Decades with Mike Gorman... Anyway, he LOVES 78's and plays them online.
7. One of my main concerns when buying my new turntable...
...was that it be able to play 78s.
I adore old music. Both the commercially recorded (e.g. the Harry Smith "Anthology of American Folk Music" and the recently released gospel box "Goodbye Babylon") and the non-commercial (the Lomax recordings for the Library of Congress).
