[78-L] 1902 7" Victor Discovery

[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

Great recording although the surface noise is a bit high with the normal 3 mil stylus. A recent note says Wrong (LP?) stylus! You need a 4-mil or maybe a 4.5-mil truncated diamond to get decent sound out of these babies & that might be right.
