[78-L] 78 Sale

[David Lennick]

I got a couple of thousand wonderful 78s a few years ago when a college needed 
the room where they were housed. Most of them were from a Carnegie Collection 
and in near mint shape. Something like three for a buck..hey, as long as they 
put the word out instead of just trashing the stuff.
