Yeah, more thrifting stuff from today. A book of 78s. I saw a like-new 4-speed turntable for practically nothing recently and got it to play some 16 rpm Seeburg records that a friend gave me a few years ago. Here's the other end of the speed spectrum. ( @KevinJS recently posted a 78 he has.) This speed is all new to me. I had to look up one of the records to make sure what they are. It's a bit scary dropping the needle onto the speeding surface, but it all works. I've played several. The one shown above is even on Youtube.

If it doesn't mention electronic and/or radio on the label then only use steel needles.
I'm no expert but do your research. IINM a diamond needle will kill shellac records.
AFAIK acoustically recorded records (pre-1930 or so) need steel needles, 1 per side.
Anyone with the correct 411 please chip in here.
