But as a follow-up is there concern on these as to what form of stylus is required for playback - if they are from your own family it could be a lightweight pick-up (sapphire stylus) was used on a correct type of deck, but if s/h they could have come from a place that used the original steel or fibre needles which I don't think can be used on micro-groove records. I have UK His Master's Voice 10in Shellacs which do have multiple tracks on (sound effects), and the grooves seem narrow but I am sure it is a standard '78'. Reading the literature from the 1940s I am confused as to what the best player and tone arm set set up is for causing least damage to either type of 78 rotational speed discs.
