As I've mentioned a couple of times in passing I want to replace my existing midi system in which the cassette deck has failed, but have been trying to find one with the added facility of playing 78s. I have seen a Comet (UK) advert for an Aiwa system which specifically mentions 78s as well as the usual 33s & 45s, multi CD, twin cassette, radio tuner. It is the model ZL520 and I'm going to check it out and perhaps leave the advert up the chimney for Father Xmas.
At least it will take my mind off sarrusaphones!
