Playing 78s

2008-06-01 by David V

Hello,

My latest acquisition is an original soundtrack album for "Spellbound". 
  By original, I mean *original*...a folio of 6 78 RPM vinyl disks. 
Man, these things are *thick*.

So....how do I play them?  Obviously I'd need a turntable that spins 
that fast, but what about the needle and stuff?  Can modern styluses 
play them?
