I got a strange record as part of a collection I recently purchased, and was wondering if anyone has any info to share.<BR>The speed is not on the label.<P>Info from the label reads:<P>Recorded by Whitford L. Hall<BR>Minister of Music<BR>First Congregational Church<BR>1311 H St., N.W. Washington 5, D.C.<BR>NAtional 8-4317<BR>EMerson 2-1166<BR>Play manually<BR>Copied from client's tape<BR>Nov. 29, 1959<BR>Allene Hall Pippin, Sop.<BR>John Harvey, Accomp.<P>Is this a 78 speed?<P>Thanks,<P>Jim<P>------------------<BR>

If it has no marks it pprobly is a 78 , Just try it with a 33 1/3 needle on 33 1/3 RPM, then try it on 78RPM , if it is slow on 33 1/3 , then it is a 78RPM and switch the needle to a 78 RPM needle. thats how i do my unknowns <P>------------------<BR>Nothing Works Beter Then An Antique Radio...Well Maybe Two..or Three.<BR> <P> <A HREF="http://www.Radio-Years.tk/" TARGET=_blank>Radio-Years</A>

Thanks Matthew, I'll give it a try. <P>Jim<P>------------------<BR>

With a 1959 date, it would be unusual for it to be a 78. Most likely a 33 LP, I would guess.<P>I wonder if the guy doing the recording is the father of the soprano?<P>Tom<P>------------------<BR>

Recorded in 1959, my guess is either 33-1/3,or 78. Play it.<BR>Dan<P>------------------<BR>
