No - Technics SL 1300 is 33RPM & 45RPM only
The number referred to the speed of the turntable in revolutions per minute (RPM). Vinyl records were recorded at various RPM. 33 1/3, 45, and 78
You will find the speed you want the turntable to turn at on the label eg, 33 1/3 rpm, 45 rpm or 78 rpm. A 45 rpm will have a larger hole in the middle than a 33 1/3, more commonly known as an album because it will have between 1 and 9 or 10 songs on each side and a 78 will have only 1 song per side, 78's are the oldest and in most cases worth the most if you were looking to sell them.
It's 33 1/3 rpm. On any record turntable there should be an rpm switch displaying the speed for 33rpm for LP's and 45rpm for 7 inch singles and if it's a good turntable it should have the speed for an old fashioned 78 rpm record.
There is something special about the Audio Technica AT PL 120 system. It is a Direct Drive Stereo Turntable System with selectable 33/34/78 RPM speeds.
Yamaha Corp. said it will produce slightly more than the V-Star 1300 ....73-hp at 5,500 rpm and 78 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm. Mainly due to the improved rollers on the valvetrain.
They stopped making 78 RPM records because they became outdated and technology was advancing. After the 78 RPM records of the 1900's, the 33 1/3 RPM records were created.
Only if it's an older one that has that speed listed.
1894, even though the first records varied in rpm (from about 60-100).
Mister Roberts - 1965 Love at 78 RPM 1-9 was released on: USA: 12 November 1965
They typically drag because that's how they make sound. If it didn't dray there would be no music. If you mean that it sounds slow, that is because as stated above, it is part of the process. Better turntables have a strobe to adjust the timing, or speed of the rotation to keep it at 33 rpm or 45 rpm or 78 rpm. Which brings me to the next part of the answer. Make sure that the speed of the turntable matches the speed of the recording. Playing a 45 rpm record at 33 rpm will sound very slow and dragging. Most record players and turntables have a selector for 33 and 45 rpm. 78rpm records use a different needle, and not all players will play these older format records.
Most vinyls nowadays, and even back in 1986, when that strip was written (if not 1987), are set two either of two different rotation speeds; 33.3 (I forget what the decimal is) or 45. So, for one thing, Calvin's family has a quite old turntable, and since Hobbes was taking out what looked to me like an LP (which these days are usually 33s), he could almost double the speed of the composition by letting it play on 78 RPM. This translates to good noisy dance music for Calvin and Hobbes, but Calvin's mom hears something that sounds like Strauss on crack, so she comments that "either he's playing classical music at 78 RPM, or I'm still dreaming."
The 78 rpm (revolutions per minute) record was first introduced in 1898 by Emile Berliner.
