Insights into the kind of crap 78-rpm records were made of, and other scarce technical infos.
If you're not sure what 'a record' is, or haven't ever seen one, you're excused.

Not many vinyl heads still around.
Playing 78’s is a niche within a niche.
Vinyl has, AFAIK, been gaining a lot in popularity over the last 20 years. The last few years pressing plants have had trouble keeping up with demand — in part due to supply chain issues, but also because everyone and their grandma wants vinyl pressed.
