Yes thats an example. Other types will appear as a vague straight line bump in the platter. The one positive thing about 78's that if you get a clean straight break you might have a good chance of fitting the parts back together and taping down one side to a bit of card so you can play the side you want. Done that a few times, because the grooves are so big, if the parts go back together ok then you dont get the click you would on a 45. (doesnt work well when the crack is curved though)

I’ve noticed some look okay but there seems to be some kind of crease in the label, suggesting signs of cracking?[/quote]
