New Shellac Records?

Post by smoser1959 »

Ok, I know this is a newbie question, but . . .
Does anyone make NEW shellac 78s that can be played on an old Victrola?
Finding old 78s that haven't been ruined by reused needles is a real challenge.

Definitely not shellac. But Don Wilson produces superb 78s made from a hard resin which can be played on acoustic gramophones.
