Plays right through with typical surface noise.
The 78s I am selling are not classed as mint condition, they have all been played and well loved, I test play them all and can guarantee they will play right though although have typical surface noise, I am playing them on a 1950's Dansette Major though, so probably not getting best sound out of them.
78s are notoriously fragile, and have survived over 80 years, so I pack very carefully. Each 78 is covered in sandwiched between 2 cross laid 12" cardboard stiffeners, wrapped in bubbled wrap and sent in a 12 x 12 x 6" double skin box with more void packaging. The extra packaging means that I to have charge slightly higher postage prices for 78s, but rest assured that the main things is that your 78 reaches you fully intact.
I can send 3 or 4 78s for the same postage price and will discount postage for bulk purchases. If you buy more than 1 item then please wait until you have received a combined invoice from us before paying, as Ebay will not apply the discount automatically. You also get a percentage discount on purchases of more than one item.
