Bill, I have an "Audiotronics" sterio, similar to a Caliphone, heavy-duty portable "school phonograph" with detachable speakers, jack outlets, etc., that plays 33s, 45s, and flips the needle to play 78s. I am about to take digitals of it and run it first on Craigslist (E-bay remains a last resort for me). I expect it will sell because this type of phonograph is in demand. I will sell it to you for $45. It works perfectly and is in very good condition. If you're interested, let me know off list at my other e-mail address: Keeperh2o at aol.com. I have no idea what it would cost to ship -- I live in Zigzag, Oregon (One of a few reasons why Craigslist is prefered) So, hopefully you don't live in West Africa.
All the Best! : ) Edward On Nov 9, 2008, smstitt at gmail.com wrote: I'd check eBay for a Caliphone. Do your homework. You can't kill them, you can vary the speed (most have strobes). I like the later stereo ones and 78s sound fine on them.
