If you're very lucky you may get some very good results.kjohnsn912 wrote: the most important of my 78s--the records made by my father's barbershop quartet, who were International Champions in 1941. Those are special, and worth the money.
The grooves that were cut in 78s were cut quite wide and deep (compared to vinyl LPs and 45s) and there was no real "standard size" for the styluses - so stylus sizes in use varied greatly. The upshot of this is that sometimes, if you are lucky, you can reach parts of the 78 that have effectively never been "played" befored i.e. have not come in contact with a stylus before.
