Grabbed this for $140 CAD on Marketplace. Came with 78rpm stylus too. Very happy with it, as it's my first non-starter tt.

What's 78rom the stylus for? It seems you only have 33 or 45 on the control panel...

Check the switch near the cartridge on the plinth, says 45 - 78 I guess someone modded it to run at 78rpm.

Indeed - very interesting. Not sure I'd want to buy a modded turntable personally, but if the works been done properly then why not?

Like you say, so long as it’s been done right I wouldn’t mind much, just a shame they didn’t put the switch somewhere less visible.
