Okeh 40784

Title: A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight / Darktown Strutters' Ball
Year: 192?
In Dead Shellac:
W 40784A B-4
W 40784B B-3
Condition: I use VJM grading for all 78s
Visually: 1.25" damage at rim resulting in a small chip on one side and some raised lamination on the other. Does not effect play. Playing surface: V- to V, common wear, some greying of grooves, but not entirely.
Sounds: V+, greying not audible. Some light loss in fidelity, but overall a nice quiet player. Light pops here and there.
I played this record a second time with the proper EQ and a touch of noise reduction and it sounded just great, like an Okeh record should.
Cleaned with the Spin Clean System

Details:
My Reference and Grading Audio System:
Audio grading is done with a pitch perfect KAB Broadcast Standard Technics 1210 Turntable and a Grado 78C Cartridge designed for Mono 78 record playback. (If you love vintage records and don't have one of these you owe it to yourself to hear what it can do for your 78s)
Check out the KAB Broadcast Standard: http://www.kabusa.com/kab_bst.htm
******Grado 78C specs so you can compare my grading cartridge to your listening cartridge:
The Prestige model 78C uses a three-piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and a specially designed, high polished conical/spherical
3 mil. diamond mounted in a brass bushing.

Amp is a Vintage Eico HF-81 set for Mono playback. Speaker: Single Mono Vintage University Coax. I feel this is a very close to authentic set up. I grade with Bass and Treble settings at zero for the most reliable read of actual record quality
