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... Steven C. Barr
