I've got one of those, a BRS (Byer Recording Services) portable recording unit, 
it can cut 78 RPM acetates and 33s. Has a sort of worm drive etc under the 
deck, quite well thought out device, its only drawback is that it's got a cold 
cutting head.

Of course I havent seen acetates on the market for years.

Cheers,
