SOmeone will want the TT to transcribe old 78 rpm records I would think. Music collectors have lots of old records from the 50's and back in that speed. You cannot get a new deck to play that very easily. They might put on a different tonearm, depending on the original, and a cartridge with the special mono stylus, but there is no other way to get the old records transcribed to digital or something.
Is this an antique or junk?
I ran across an old Garrard turntable Model 88 MK II made in Germany, Plays 33-45-78-16. This is the first I have seen a 16 speed on a turntable. It does work but needs a new cartridge. Is this something that may be worth something to somebody?
Also, can somebody enlighten the young about what the speed 16 played?
