This rendition has the most 'muskle' of any I've heard. What a great post! Please accept this raised can of spinach. Cheers!

78s repel dust unlike virgin vinyl. LPs collect dust by spinning. What year model is this RC? It is really beutiful. I like it better than the Luxor Robot. It is museum quality. Thanks for showcasing.

Hi! It was manufacturated from 1943 till...?

Yes, the changer system is better for the records than the Luxor robot. The shelf pusher.

Thank you!

Is this a 12" 78? I cannot find any information about this recording.

So interested to hear this as I am playing a concerto for trumpet composed by Wal-Berg and could not find any information on him. His concerto is really fine - great for both performer and listener. Thank you for this.

¿Qué tal Pascualín?... Ese disco es una auténtica joyita; cuídalo mucho. Yo ya casi terminé de restaurar la Philips AG 1103, que te platiqué hace tiempo. Solamente me falta detallar el brazo que le hice, y a ver si puedo reparar un problema del mecanismo automático. ¡Salúdos desde México!.

Wonderful recording! What year was this recorded? No later than the 50's I presume.

[yopascualin]

Does not appear any date in the label but I think it´s about 1940´s. I´ll share more recordings of Wallberg orchestra.

Thank you.

[mrrk]

what a great record player

[wb5oxq]

This is a great recording and a very impressive sound from a 78rpm record. I doubt this record has been played too much to sound this good. I cannot hear any surface noise. Few 45s or lp's sound any better.

[yopascualin]

I´ve played it only about five times!

78s Seem To Last Longer With Proper Care Than LPs.I Played A Few LPs 10 Times And There Was A Noticable Degration In Sound Quality,But I Played A Few 78s 20 Or 30 Times And There Was No Degration Of Sound Quality.

I would think it has to do with what type of record player a record is played on. 78's were made of shellac and were stronger and heavier than vinyl. They needed to be so they could be played with those strong diamond tipped phonograph needles. More modern record players had thinner more flexible needles. If the shellac 78's could take constant playings with those old needles, then these modern needles barely cause any wear and tear.
