Any recommendations 78 rpm audiophile turntable?


A buddy gave me a ton of 78s from his now deceased uncle and I'm looking for a good quality turntable to dedicate to 78s. Currently leaning towards a KAB modded Technics 1200 mkII. Any very vintage vinyl buffs got any thoughts/advice? Prefer a newer model. Thorens and Dual also still make 78 speed tables.

Thanks

Lenco L75 or L78 is popular among 78 lovers because of its variable speed. There were shellac records cut at other speeds than 78 rpm, and with a Lenco you can set it to ANY speed between 16 to over 80 rpm.
Use the stock arm for 78s and mount another arm outside the upper edge of the top plate for LPs & 45s and you have a killer table for all formats ( well, except CDs...)!
