One-track mind, I see. And sick one at that.
Norm, do you have other photos of the item in question?

My parents had loads of 78rpm records when I was growing up. I didn’t listen to them though - they were old fashioned even then. The gramophone we had, had four speeds, 78rpm, 45rpm, 33rpm and 16rpm. I only used the 45 and 33, singles and albums. They had a couple of 16rpm records, they were about the size of a modern cd. I think they were eventually just thrown away, bet they are worth something now.
