I probably started playing them from age 3 or less on the radiogram dad built/assembled (plus even earlier recording ourselves/ radio broadcasts on a tape recorder he built too ( the radio dates are really odd as I THINK he built the amp for it AFTER the recording dates - maybe he was repairing it in my childhood memories and built it around 1960 or had used someone elses tape recorder for the early tapes (he was good at borrowing things from neighbours). My uncle never had any 78s that I can recall but had a good 45collection and a Pye Black Box to play them on, mum's aunt had 78s but they resided under the stairs in her house until I got them when I was 8 . then promptly broke rock around the clock while sorting them into label order. ( I had played it often in the weeks before though, ahh the days before daytime TV and we had to make our own entertainment).
