If there are any stores in your area that specializes in used hi-fi
equipment, call them and get your name on a list.  I was able to find a very
good turntable at such a store that specialized in "high end" used
equipment.  I bought a new cartridge and needle from them, too.  They also
had "restored" it so it works well.  BTW, what a difference in sound.


Also, check out the following from messages I saved on the 78 list.

Nauck has a great catalogue and sells lots of equipment such as turntables,
cartridges, etc.

He also has a quarterly auction of thousands of 78's that occasionally have
Jewish records.

Here's my educated recommendation......others will probably heartily
agree....(Wolf,
see what you've started?!! )   ;)
Get yourself a Thorens turntable. My model is lovely. It's a TD126 Mk II.
Look at eBay, or look in the "Buy 'n' Sell" (your community sales paper.)
Buy a Stanton 500 model cartridge from KABUSA.com, and, when Stanton come to
their
suppy-and-demand senses, purchase a quantity of different sized styli for
the various
sized grooves on 78rpm recordings.
Or, donate all of your Jewish records to me, and have me transfer them to
CDs for
you!! ;)
Best Regards,
Steven Lederman.
