Of course, if it has a sapphire needle, it probably has 78 rpm speed as well which is what these records were recorded in. Short of that, you could record it into your computer using software like Audacity (google it, it's free) and it allows you convert 33 1/3 to 78 rpm.

Since there is an extra hole on the label, I put my finger in it and rotate it faster, but just like yours, it's difficult to figure out what he's saying. I think mine record is my Uncle John. Boy, I sure wish I could understand it. There are several skips in it too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-72375976096470379512013-07-06T23:05:11.974-05:002013-07-06T23:05:11.974-05:00Thanks, Jose.

I will remember that in the future, although the only older 78 turntable I currently have is a 1920 Singerphone whose steel needle would eat it up. I'll have to keep an eye out at the sales for a 40's or 50's 78 record player.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080299065441712068.post-45778182594222362052013-07-02T21:17:50.776-05:002013-07-02T21:17:50.776-05:00The needle on a modern phonograph is too narrow, i...The needle on a modern phonograph is too narrow, it's not contacting the groove walls. Try an older 78 rpm turntable.
