[78-L] Cheap Turntables (Up to $600)

[Michael Biel]

Even though more and more manufacturers are including 78 in their
regular turntables, you might still want to look first at the three
specialty 78 dealers,  

Kurt Nauck   http://78rpm.com  
Kevin A. Barrett   http://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/      
Mike Stosich   http://www.esotericsound.com/

You can also get a better range of styli from them, and some that will
play 16-inchers.

Disclaimer -- all three are friends of mine, but would they give me a
special deal?  Naaaaa.
