[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 886135, member: 807"] Some of the electric Paillards did have centrifugal governors, and the Garrards. It was an economical way to provide pitch control, since there was no universal speed standard for shellac records early on - anything from about 70 to 90 rpm might have been found from assorted manufacturers. 78 rpm records can sound very acceptable, if they have not been damaged by nasty players - as so many were. And certainly amplifiers and loudspeakers of that period could be exceptional when properly designed and built - even compared to much current technology. [/QUOTE]
