Well, Dual turntables, about the easiest 78-capable turntables to find,
had a +/- 5% speed control. In my LP days, I often wondered why it was
there...in my 78 daysm I wonder if it's adequate! As a harmonica player,
I often tried to play along with 78's, and found them in keys like
"G and a quarter!" Mr. Lennick can discourse extensively on "78's" that
weren't recorded at exactly that speed...
