[78-L] Pathe Records Questions

[David Lennick]

Dave Stamper was a songwriter, but I don't know anything else about these. Are 
they center start?

You need a lot of patience to play them. Or an old Brunswick phonograph with 
the Ultona tone arm. Or a stylus with a huge tip, 6 mil or so, and a phase 
reverse switch on your setup.
