Very cool Alain, I can remember playing 45s on them as kids!
I remember a lot of gramophones having a 16 speed setting, but I never saw any 16 speed records. Most of the 78s I remember were shellac, rather than vinyl. Tens of thousands of them must have been smashed-up during the 60's 'modernisation programme'
Me and my younger brother came across a pile of old 78's, we would fling them like frisbee's into the trees and watch them shatter. I also remember seeing boxes of like, 50 needles for turntables, because the records were so abrasive they would wear out the points in a short while.Very cool Alain, I can remember playing 45s on them as kids!
A bit like this!

I can remember doing similar things Duane, you would often find piles of old 78's dumped. I sometimes see the boxes of needles in fleamarkets here
Don't leave them in a sunny window, one has learned.
Good fuel for domestic quarrels!...Tens of thousands of them must have been smashed-up during the 60's 'modernisation programme'
That's true of a lot of things!
I was co-writing a piece on Boy Scout and Girl Guide knives about six months back, and as part of my research, I purchased the Girl Guides book, which was the same as my sister had in the 60's. There were ideas for making things out of melted 78's, such as a flower-pot! Good fuel for domestic quarrels!
Thanks for sharing your list. I occasionally make Spotify playlists:
I gave you a follow. I'll be deep diving your public playlists in hopes of finding some deep cuts! Thanks for sharing!
I told my wife I was sharing some of my playlists, and she reminded me that I should put the album I made back in 2006 on here, too. It's instrumental rock? With forays into jazz and surf and metal and funk and other stuff? Join the three other people who've ever heard it! Tyson Wright - The Difference Engine
Added to my playlist! I'll give you some feedback after I get through it. I'm a little bogged down today working on my final paper for graduate school. Friday is my deadline and I'm a little anxious about getting it in.
He either liked it or intended for you to use it . Hard to tell which . I have given my kids , grand kids , and great grand kids many knives and never have I given them one that I did not like and I expect that he probably did too . I have had my Dad's old barlow for 25 years and will never use it .A fathers knife...
In light of my previous comments
I got to thinking, when my father discovered I had gotten into the knife nut habit ...he gifted me with a knife
With all that's been happening, I got to thinking. This is likely the last knife I will get from him.
Sooo the dilemma now becomes. Do I use it, as he intended. Or do I keep it safe for the rest of my life. What would I do if I broke or lost it?
Lonesome Dove is good. I didn't know Hondo was a book before the John Wayne version. Louis L'Amour- gotta be good.
A very short while. The needle was worn out after a single play!
Always a good start to the week... that and waking up alive again ...
Figure on about six weeks before you are back to ā normalā activities. For me, that meant back to driving a school bus after a right knee replacement. The covid lockdown here came on March 6, 2020, the day after my surgery, which had a dampening effect on my PT. I seems to work better in person than by Zoom. I am hoping to get my left knee done this spring. I hope to get some more right knee work in wile I am rehabbing the left.
