Turntable for 78 RPM Records
By Reg Smith

Thorens (yes, the same Swiss company who made music boxes for many
years) still produces an excellent line of turntables, including at
least a couple of models that accommodate 78 rpm.  For a new one, I know
I have seen them advertised in J&R Music World's catalog, but I am sure
they can be found by a search on the 'Net.  As I recall, the price was
around $180.00.

Another option would be to hunt thrift stores, yard sales, and flea
markets.  I have found several excellent turntables in those places,
often for next to nothing, and only needing a bit of cleaning, and
a new stylus.  Good luck!
