That's fine, but the standard speed for 78s IS 78.26; I don't know if 80RPM records included a fraction. LPs, of course are always based on 33 1/3 RPM, so there would be no reason to relate anything to 33.00 RPM. I'm sure the original question was searching for a corrective adjustment to adapt from standard 78 to Columbia's 80 RPM, but that's only a guess.

I specifically said 78.00 in my reply. I assumed that if you meant 78.26, you would have said so.

Are you basing that on 78.00 RPM or 78.26 RPM?
Not challenging you just a question.

A quarter tone is 3%, a half tone is 6%, and a whole tone is 12%. So, the difference between 78.00 and 80 is just a hair under a quarter tone. A quarter tone would be 80.34; a half tone is 82.68..

Hello everybody,
Can anyone tell me how many half-tones up from 78 rpm to 80 rpm?
Thanks.
