You can have the record pressed with a slowed down version and play it on a steel needle machine once and you get a 78!

But, your steel needle will destroy the vinyl record, no matter what speed it's recorded or played back at.

Yes, it will also widen the groove allowing it to be played on a gramophone though.

Fine, being serious, you can technically make an LP a 78 with a steel needle but you shouldn’t.

Now here is a real question - Why do you believe that you can make a 33 ⅓ LP into a 78 with a steel needle?
Also, why is your user name misspelled?
"SHREDDED VINYL GROOVES SOUND BETTER THO"???

There is the Lathe Trolls forum, which had some threads about 78rpm mastering and playback; there were all the Steve Hoffman boards like Audiokarma, and there's experimentation with homemade equipment.

This forum is a beginner-friendly place but only if you treat it, and the userbase, with respect.
