You can use Audacity to convert a 78 played at 45 -- there is a feature
in there to do that. Rip it then do the conversion. I have a bunch of
old 78s someone gave me, and ran a few of them through. I wouldn't
bother with one of the new USB things, just run a monitor out from your
receiver to your sound card "in" (which might be the MIC in) and do it
that way. I bought an external Creative sound card box (USB) some years
ago that has a bunch of inputs and outputs, it seems to work pretty
well. It was like $25 at the time.
On your other TT, there is a thing called a "load belt" that makes the
tray go in/out, probably. I had a nice NEC CD player that would go
through them pretty quickly. Basically a little rubber band, I bought a
bunch to replace them, but alas now the CD player is ancient technology.

has anyone had experience with the USB turntables to convert vinyl to
digital? None I have seen will do 78, but they should work with my LPs.
seems like a simple solution
My pioneer turntable won't do 78s either.
I have a stack of 78s that I'd like to convert. I guess I could use
my 1950 vintage Monkey Ward multimedia center and cut into the wires
from the turntable to convert the 78s. It does 78 and 45 only.
Rich's list of Chucktown audio equip is mostly too new for me. But
I'd like to have his Pioneer SX-727 receiver. That is right in the
vintage I want.
My old 626 has been flawless except for a couple lights burning out in
40 years of use. Still have not found a source for the light bulbs.
