I know most 78s are not worth that much (checked Discogs and the first couple I have listed do have a modest net £1 to me ( for charity). Located in Manchester.

I would not normally bother, but as these have been associated with a wind up or early electric gramophone It appears to my visual eye they have only been played (if at all) with Steel or Fibre Needles , not a sapphire or other later radiogram/record player tone arm. As such I think these will make excellent masters if you are looking for original Decca Capitol , Brunswick, Regal Zonophone and So On. I can include the player if you wish. I am going to ask the modest cost of £100 (£50 for Macmillan Cancer Support and £50 for The Salvation Army). Collection Only by Arrangement.
I do have a 1970s Garrard Deck set uo for 78s which I can rig up to the appropriate Loudspeakers and play these, but I am reluctant to do so, and of course I do not have long term secure storage (too much other stuff and not enough floorspace).
I may not get time to list all to my recent added collection so there will be some trust on the titles, mostly stuff that may be on the Compliation CDs you can get, but there may be some otherwise unavalible recordings in the pile. The sleeves, in the main a good mix of Company, Retailer and Brown ones are crisp, though ring noticable from storage, again the best I have seen considering 60 years old.

I will be advertising on a Radio Forum and maybe gumtree If I dont have a main response by the end of next week but would like to go to collectors, or dealers from here first.
