I wish I could find one, because I have some (homemade) 78s I'd like to be able to play and digitize. Yes, in the days before tape recorders, you could buy record-cutting lathes for amateur use.
Play it at lower speed, digitise the result, and speed it up on your computer?

@gurth Won't work - won't duplicate all the sources of distortion. A needle for 33 doesn't have the same dynamics as a needle for 78. You need to do more than time-compress.

@Gribnit TIL. So could you put a needle suitable for 78 RPM in an otherwise modern player?

78 and 33 use different needles, IIRC. I don't think that'll work. It'll produce SOMEthing but it won't be what the 78 sounded like originally.

@Gurth Go ahead.

There are somethings missing - like 16 and 78
