I dug out some Kidditunes 6" 78s and noticed that they are microgroove 78s, with the legend "Use any needle - Play on any gramophone" on the rear of the sleeve :eek:

I think they were often played on those red plastic battery turntables with inbuilt speaker, sold in toy departments of suburban department stores, they sounded terrible, when I was 3 I ran away from one to find a proper record shop.
Those toy gramophones - didn't have any electronics in them at all(save, maybe, for the electric motor) They played the disc accousticly. Some had clockwork(wind-up) drives. I know. As a kid I had one(the electric motored variety). Yeah. they sounded ghastly but as kids we never really noticed or cared.
