.. Truly painful well thru the 60's if you are 'blessed' with perfect
pitch... I think the advent of the phase-lock-loop in recording may have
finally saved many people from terminal madness.... :>)

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...
