Well, indeed it's always caveat emptor, but I'd say the Radio Times connection is quite good reason to think it's probably not a rip off. Someone give them a ring and find out how much the 78 needle costs.

This is the cheapest solution to playing 78s that I've seen, outside of car boot sales and auctions. OTOH I'm not sure that the 78 stylus is £9.95 - it does say ring for details - I'd think the £9.95 stylus is a spare for vinyl - caveat emptor.

Refresh ... somebody must care about this! I think Roger the Skiffler must be on holiday; I know he was after one.

A Radio Times special offer this week is for a radio/turntable which plays at 33, 45 and 78rpm and costs £99.95, inc P&P. It has built-in speakers, and comes with an LP stylus; the 78 stylus is another £9.95. All you deckless 78ers out there take note!

As regards quality, I expect you gets what you pays for ...
