Any recommendations 78 rpm audiophile turntable?

A buddy gave me a ton of 78s from his now deceased uncle and I'm looking for a good quality turntable to dedicate to 78s. Currently leaning towards a KAB modded Technics 1200 mkII. Any very vintage vinyl buffs got any thoughts/advice? Prefer a newer model. Thorens and Dual also still make 78 speed tables.

Thanks

Hi, I have had great luck with the Dual CS5000. Not only will it play 78's but this belt drive table does a fine job on 33's and 45's also. I own two of them.

You may want to check Rega, somehow I remember a dedicated P-3 for 78 rpm.

Dear Sd Goat: The best you can buy: Technics SP 10MK2, and this one is great not only at 78 rpm but at 33/45 rpm too.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Try esoteric sound. They specialize in 78 rpm turntables which have variable pitch as many were not exactly at 78 rpm. Low prices too

Not cheap any longer, but the Garrard 301 is hard to beat.
