Hi, I checked the specs for your turn table, it does not have 78 rpm. So looks like you can't on this turn table. Regards Marcel

@Gypsymojo You dont know what technics mk2 has? ;ZZZZZZZ go google it... i htink it has only 33 and 45rpm... if i am sure that is , cuz that are 2 buttons that i have on it... Go check SL1200MK2 technics and tell me is it possible. Btw mk2's are best tuurntables ever made...

Hi, Does your turntable have 78 rpm? Does it also have a 78 rpm stylus (3 mm) ? if so this is the best method of playing old shellac records. The sound reproducer on antique gramophones weight quite a bit, your sound reproducer is very light so it will not cause record wear. I do recommend that you make sure the old records are clean of dust and grit so as not to destroy your stylus. Regards Marcel

@Gypsymojo You mean on my technics mk2? So my technics mk2 could play a shellac record? +Z I mean , my grandparents have loads of old records about 70 years old , and im scared to play them on my Technics sl1200 mk2... Cuz im DJ and i love my turntables...

Hi, This is a shellac record not vinyl, the reproducer weight combined with the steel needle would destroy a vinyl record. If your turntable has 78 rpm capability and the correct stylus, then yes you could play it. Regards Marcel

Could that vinyl record be played on new turntables , like on technics sl1200 mk2?
Really, really love this song! Thanks a bunch for the video! This record is apperantly very rare, your lucky to own it!
The seems like a later recording, I am surprised to see that it sounds so good on this 20s wind-up player. When I play records of the late 30s on my Columbia Viva-Tonal, they don't get reproduced as well as your machine does.
Thanks for the video!

@Anubis454545 Hi, Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the record. You may find that the reproducer on your columbia needs rebuilding, after time the rubber hardens and the sound reproduction suffers. Regards Marcel
