Also, it is possible to buy 78-capable players (they don't mention
that the needles are the wrong size, though...?!)...! When I started
collecting 78's (1973) it was possible to buy new N8-3 Astatic
needles...so I drove out to the Astatic facility (in east-end Toronto)
and bought a dozen N8-3d diamond 78 needles. I wish I had bought
a lot more!
