“Good Vibrations” at 78 RPM

Anyone who bought the Beach Boys Record Store Day single for “Good Vibrations” without realizing that it was a 78 RPM pressing will be interested in this video (unless you simply went to the more recent and now old-fashioned CD backup). Furthermore, you’ll be intrigued by the method used to achieve playback on this turntable, which only has 33 1/3 RPM and 45 RPM speeds built in.  Kids, don’t try this with your dad’s expensive turntable!

I do not have a 78 player, however there is a easy mod that can allow you to play it. I have belt drive USB table to record this. Take a straw and cut it down to the right size of the motor top so that the belt travels on the straw rather than in the groove of the motor. It will then allow the platter to spin close to 78. I can make a video if you folks would like to show you what I did. ? I would not recommend doing this on a top of the line table.
