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 ... Steve |

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. |

Someone give them a ring and find out how much the 78 needle costs. |
