Playing a 45 on a victorola isn't that hard, it helps that they often presed them in a very hard plastic. The greatest chance for the needle to rip out the groove is at the beginning- if you can get past that point the needle seems to ride pretty well, I recall that I had to do a lot of experimenting with needle grades. Now, if you're all agast, I was doing this back in grade school. As a kid I even played 33's with a counterweight systen on the soundbox.
