Major Art Tillery Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 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.

Watch out when packing, these are not vinyl and are very brittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I knew they are different then current records... But was not sure what they are made out of. Shellac Resin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Maybe a blue paper shop towel between each one. They are brittle as hell. They appear to be in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appear to be in good condition. That is kind what I was thinking. Wrap them up really good and plenty of bubble wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
