[78-L] oyVey has made a change effective today

[Joel Bresler]

Malcolm,

I would be happy to see a copy of your saved search "key words", if you
wouldn't mind sending it to me off-list. As I said, for me, eBay is
malfunctioning. The search works properly while I am on the site, but when I
save it, I get all speeds. 

Thanks to all for your comments,

Joel

Not strange, it's what I get, too. That and a few 33s usually offered by
those who don't know what the difference between a 78 and an LP is!

I get (plus asorted turntables etc. which have 78rpm in the item
description) but no 45s or LPs.  Maybe ebay has some subtle differences here
in the UK?
