it depends how old....78rpm or 33rpm or 45rpm Note: Early disc recordings were produced in a variety of speeds ranging from 60 rpm to 120 rpm, and a variety of sizes. As early as 1894, Emile Berliner's United States Gramophone Company was selling single-sided 7" discs with an advertised standard speed of "about 70 rpm." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramophone_record#Early_speeds [Link & note added -- Zb] Aug 18 00, 12:14 AM
