Only if/when somebody rediscovers the formula used for the manufacture of
"shellac" 78's...! In fact, we are MUCH more likely to see 10" vinyl discs
that play at 78 rpm (I own a probably 1968 RCA Victor example of such...
which is recorded in STEREO...a real stereo 78! The other disc in its
set was apparently in "quadrophonic" sound...dunno if it was also
recorded at 78 rpm...?!)!

There have been a fair number of 10" vinyl records which play at 78 rpm
cut over the past couple of decades...!
