My grandma had a record player like this...and she had Spike Jones records which I loved to play.
I've sent the last few of her one-sided 78s to my sister in CA. I've still got a few dozen 78s that need homes.

Wow, that's a cool looking record player, Kathy!

I know what you mean about finding homes for those old 78s.   A number of years ago, we also had to "find a home" for a bunch of 78s from our grandparents day (as well as a bunch of 45s and 33⅓s, and record players to play them).   They'd probably be worth a small fortune today, to some sentimental collectors.

Not sure about this, but I believe Fiji Hill might have a collection of historic 78s, and I bet he could probably direct you to somebody, or some web site, or place, where you could find a new home for your collection.   (Good luck with that effort.)

(Do you remember this song on a 78?)
