FS - Western Vinyl Records 78 (Size)

[Major Art Tillery]

I am not sure if anyone would be interested in these, but figured I would post this ad... Before I used them for other means.

 

I have (23) 78 records

6 - Gene Autry

1 - Roy Rogers

1 - Ernest Tubb

1 - Roy Acuff

3 - Louise Massey & The Westerners

1 - Bob Willis & His Texas Playboys

1 - Bob Crosby

9 - Bing Crosby

 

I have wiped them down and have played several and they all worked ok.   FYI - (The Victrola record player from Walmart are able to play 78s)

 

$50 for all + Shipping.... Which should work in a medium flat rate box.

 

Feel free to make a serious offer as well.

Nice set!  Watch out when packing, these are not vinyl and are very brittle.

Thank you, I knew they are different then current records... But was not sure what they are made out of.  Shellac Resin?

Maybe a blue paper shop towel between each one. They are brittle as hell. They appear to be in good condition.

That is kind what I was thinking.   Wrap them up really good and plenty of bubble wrap.

If I recall correctly shellac and powdered slate.  The older ones work better with a different needle than 33RPM, in fact I think the later needles are either harmed by and / or harmful to the older records.  I haven't played a 78 in many years, but still have a different cartridge for an old turntable.  If I were shipping them, particularly these days, I would go to the max with bubbles and peanuts in a larger box.
