How old are you?? :O

78 or 45?

45 and 33 1/3. 78s were still there but rare at that point. I used to toy with my player speeds to make the records sound weird, cause what was the point of having those speeds if you didn't use em every so often :P

btw KISS Love Gun 33 1/3 sounds really weird on 78 speed

lol, someone else who knows there were 3 speeds!!

I had some old 78's, though I can't honestly remember where I got them, it was an old linguaphone set. I can't claim that 78s were the standard in my time, for me it was 45s and 33 1/3 as well.

Its like an old timers meeting in here, discussing the days of yore. Scratched records, or having to put a coin on the arm so it would not skip. Anyone ever have to put aluminum foil on a TV antenna? So you could watch the handful of TV channels that existed.

lol, yes a penny was normally enough to prevent skipping. and foil was good, but a wire hanger was better.

the only 78s I had access to I think were made out of ceramic, or glass. they were heavy and felt almost like glass and I remember one of them broke and the section almost looked like glass.

Not to de-rail the OP

sorry should we start a new post for nostalgia? ^-^
