The older ones also still do 78.  The problem seems to occur not with the
speed itself, it stays reliable at whatever speed it ultimately gets stuck
in, but they start to refuse to lock into a newly selected speed. For arg's
sake one jammed at 45 will go to 78 but as soon as you let go the selector it
drops straight back to the lower speed.  You end up needing 3 turntables one
for each speed. Never been able to find a fix for it.
