I feel like this would be played at disney land--

[@sonialila7880]

This may be a silly question; but does that use the same size and type of record that was used most recently?

[@organlover1968]

Hi Sonia. No, not a silly question at all. Modern records are either 7" (45rpm) singles or 12" (33rpm) long play albums (LP's) - both made from a very soft vinyl. The older records were made of a much harder shellac based compound and played at 78rpm. They were available in many sizes but most commonly 10" and 12".

[@ApatheticGod0]

Indeed, in fact, using a vinyl record on this would severely damage the record. The needle here is essentially a point of steel with the entire tonearm resting on it (some 5+ grams. This is so great that it would carve up a vinyl record like butter, instead of following the grooves, it would carve it’s own into the record so it’s not a silly question at all!

[@puciohenzap891]

@@ApatheticGod0 I've read that the same thing would happen if one tried to play a shellac record on a modern turntable with a sapphire/diamond stylus - it would carve into the record and destroy it. Is that true?

Hi

Can You sell me this ciecle brush? Have You got red or only this one?

[@voldy3565]

Is there any way to make your own records that will play on these? What I mean is putting modern music onto a record that will play on this.

[@organlover1968]

Hi, it's an interesting question and, I suppose, the answer is 'Where there's a will, there's a way". The technology to produce 78rpm records certainly still exists - most people will tell you that the last 78's were produced in the late 50's/early 60's and this is generally true. However, it may come as a surprise to many to discover that the last commercial release that I'm aware of was 'Millennium' by Robbie Williams which was issued by HMV as a limited (999 copies) collectors edition 10" shellac 78 on May 18th 2000, now very rare, very collectable and extremely expensive. It's worth noting that, although this was a standard looking shellac 78, I'm certain it would have been produced with a modern microgroove, designed for electric turntables and making it unsuitable for playing on a mechanical gramophone. I hope this helps, Gordon.
