Depends on the label, Mike. Music Service Co. and Pathe 15 3/4" discs play at 120rpm on a certain size Pathe machine, while radio transcriptions (usually of 16") would play on an electric phono with a long enough (and lightweight, compared to acoustic phonos) tonearm to play them. If you can be positive they play at 78rpm (or anything faster than 33.3rpm), they're worth picking up, as 99% of all 16" radio transcriptions I've ever seen play at 33.3rpm. Please let us know more information about them if you do indeed purchase them!
