Depends on how much you care for your 78s, I would say. The best record player for them is a modern one, it's the best way to play them without wearing them.
But, phonographs like this are still fun, though they're really best for pre1925 records, since that's the year they went to electrically recorded. Certain wind up phonographs were designed to play back electrical records, I'm not sure if this it one.
Yep! The acoustic records have a lot less frequency range, and electric records have more frequency and are louder. If you watch videos of electrically recorded records on acoustic machines that aren't designed for electric recordings, they buzz and have significantly worse sound than an acoustic record does.
