I've got a Rega Planar 78, but even second hand they're over a ton (that's £100+). I transcribe all my 78s and then declick etc, before either putting onto CD or playing back on the hifi via the PC soundcard. Unless you've got records of value, I'd suggest something from the 1940s or early 50s that were built for the job. If you've got enough space, a radiogram would fit the bill well, and they're often available cheap. But you'll struggle to get a decent replay sound for earlier 78s because of the vast range of EQs used when cutting the discs.
