Do any of these have a 78 stylus included or available,
or have a shell which will accomodate any available cartridge with a 78 stylus?

J & R has a Numark DJ turntable with USB on sale for $84.00, only a few
bucks more than the one at Macy's; it's $15 off the regular price.  And yes,
it has 3 speeds and a pitch control, among other things!  Here's more about
it:

I have no connection with J & R except as an occasional customer, BTW.
