SOMEBODY is playing all those LPs in the clubs! And Numark is making the 
turntables for them, complete with pitch variation and reverse direction.

I still cue discs back..a full turn for 78s. Only time I don't is when there's 
a damaged start groove or it's a lacquer that was recorded "on the fly" and the 
program starts right at the point of needle drop.
