Philips HiQ International record player

[pksnathan]

Friends,
I intend buying a Philips hiq International record player model no 932 because it is having 78 RPM playback facility.I have a few 78 RPM records and since my existing Fisher turntable does not have this playback facility I am going for this Philips turntable.I want to know if this turntable has a ceramic or magnetic cartrdge.I could not find reliable information about this while surfing the net and request friends to enlighten me in this matter.
Thanking you

Hello
Philips hi q international 932 is a decent TT which has ceramic cart and 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM capability. I have this TT along with an audiotechnica table and I am happy with the Philips hi q international. But I have never tried the shellacs on it, rather I spin 78 RPM on my HMV Gramophone.
Regards

Please let me know if this ceramic cartridge in Philips HiQ International turntable can be replaced with a MM cartrdge.I request to please clarify my doubt.
Thank you.

No, you can't replace it with a mm cart because it's phono stage is of ceramic.

I think for 78 rpm you can consider a Audiotechnica LP120 which has 78 speed. Only thing is you may have to upgrade the cart to something like AT 95 with stylus to play 78 speed.

actually a Garrard changer in working condition or a Garrard record player is often preferred for 78s, if you can find one in good condition

good changer models - RC210, RC88, Type-A
good turntables - 4HF (often over priced as folk incorrectly compare it to the Garrard 301), SP25 series

Here are a few examples of Garrards in action with 78s
