Are these records too "new" for my machine?

I never can pick these. I have a bunch of these 78's like Dixie by Dorsey, glen miller, and San Fransisco
symphony. They are thick records, some 12 and some 10 inch.
Are these records only for orthophonics? I wonder if my older player (standard A) will eat them?
Help......and please excuse my ignorance.

As long as they are SHELLAC and not vinyl, you'll be fine. Use soft tone needles. If your reproducer hasn't been rebuilt... git r done.

If they sound bad- a distorted overly loud sound that stresses the soundbox, then they are bad.
