    Depending on the turntable, a pulley kit is available which will change the speed to 78 RPM

    From what I've read, options are (1) find an antique mechanical player, (2) go down a rabbit hole of turntable acquisition and mods, needle experimentation, preamps and equalizers or (3) minimal analog and Audacity digital fixes.

    You don't need an antique player. Newer turntables like the AT-LP120 can do 78rpm. You'll probably need a 78rpm cartridge though, but it might not be necessary.

    All of the newer speed control Pro-ject turntables (like the debut carbon Evo) also come with a separate belt to run at 78

    I've picked up a basic turntable that supports 78rpm, and ordered a 3mm stylus for shellac disks. How much extra value is there in a cartridge?

    Got them up and running with a modern turntable and 78 stylus. Thanks all.
