The important question here (as with ALL 21st century tts?!) is whether they
offer a 78-capable needle (probably 3 mils?!) to fit it...?! It IS (more or 
less)
possible to "play" 78's using a microgroove (.1 or .07) needle...but BADLY!
Adding 78 as a speed was fairly simple; however, actually PLAYING 78's
is a horse of a different question.../!
