I've come into an interesting collection of 78 RPM albums - old Stokie, Ormandy, Fiedler, etc. performances - and I'm interested in finding an inexpensive turntable that will play them. I have two turntables, but they're only 2-speed machines. Can anyone suggest something currently available? I've seen a line of Crosley players at a couple of major retail chains that play through their own self-contained amps and speakers, but I'd prefer to be able to play them through an external stereo system or, using a USB output, into a computer.
For anyone who knows: can these old (I assume) shellac records be safely played with "modern" diamond styluses? I know the old osmium tips for 78s were larger, but also softer. Will a diamond meant for LPs tear the 78s up?
