Steve,
Out of curiosity, once you've extracted the information you require from 
78a, is it necessary to continue to hang on to them? Selling, even at a 
low price, would free up space for you. I have about 5000 78s, and I 
estimate that I only require a couple of thousand more to satisfy me. 
Others that would be of interest are beyond my reach financially.
