Thanks, Mr. Morgan. That's great! I just ordered it and shall report later on the sonic quality, which I'm prepared not to like. (Most transfer/restorations diminish the power of 78s.) Back in the Sixties/Seventies I did three Complete Mahler orgies on WHRB. Each took about eighteen hours and I varied the recordings, and whenever possible played the original 78s instead of LPs -- so I have most of them on the shelf. But not alas the Fried M2; for that I used my Mahler buddy Tony Lauck's straight unprocessed dub. Those orgies produced a couple other good friends through telephone calls and studio visits.
