The modification of your already exisitng direct drive tunrtable may be an option for speed modification to 3, 4 or multiple speeds, the following will be needed:

*If your existing tunrtable is less than fully working, I can repair / restore your tunrtable to perform to original specifications and do all of the technical maintenanace to get it ready for the rotation speed modification
2) Once the motor is modified to provide the desired platter rotation speeds, for 78 RPM playback, the tunrtable needs to provide:
A cartridge that provides the needed wide groove stylus for 78's, OR: A dedicated head-shell / cartridge, that provides the 78 RPM wide groove stylus.
• I can provide a suitable cartridge, a complete headshell, or a solution that will allow to change stylie between micro-groove and wide-groove sizes (for specific cartridges only)
Prices:
If your turntable is one of the below listed makes and models I can modify it within 5-15 business day turnaround time. Costs are in the $175 to $250 range for the platter speed modification only. Cartridge / headshell / stylus options, or specialty modification items in addition:

If your turntable model is not listed above: Please tell me what make and model, if direct drive (belt drive turntable modifications to 78 RPM not recommneded, and often no speed modification possible at all - need ot know motor type), If the turntable provides mounting for a standard-mount 1/2" cartridge. For turntable models not listed above I will give a first response by e-mail, and if we determine, that your tutntable model is a likely candidate for possible modification you will have to ship it in. After an extensive equipment evaluation I will tell you what I can do for you, how long it will take, and how much it will be, or if the unit cannot be modified. If your unit cannot be modified, or if no work is ordered, I charge a flat $50 equipment evalauation fee and will return the tunrtable in the same working condition, or better, in which it was shipped in. (Likely I will perform basic maintenance and re-work to improve long term reliablity of your unit, in order to get reliable test results form your unit) Shipping costs in addition.
Please NOTE:
• Before a speed modification can be performed the turntable to be modified has to be in flawlessly perfect working condition - Can repair, if needed (at additional cost)
• Most tunrtables are limited to play standard up to 12" records. Speed modification to 16 RPM will provide 16 RPM platter speed for regular record sizes up to 12", but cannot address size requirments for 16" disk size, such as used for commercial broadcast and trascripton records. In most cases: for 16" disks a specialty tunrtable will be needed - Please Inquire.
Inquire also for cartridge options, or other custom modified plug and play 3 or 4 speeed turntables built to order
