Those 78s were totally flat, with no raised edges to protect the grooves, and took a beating when they dropped in these changers. Still amazing engineering, especially in the release mechanism of only one record at a time.

Not entirely true. There are a few 78s with raised edges. Not a lot, but they exist. The distance of the drop is minimal and would never damage a record. The best obviously is the 78 jukebox that grabs a disc from a separated vertical pile, turns it horizontally, sets it down and then the arm comes over and drops on the in-groove. Brilliant design.

@Bob A clean 78, especially the later vinyls, has incredible sound.

@Bob Before I record a crackly 78 for my channel, I wet the surface and rub a!omg the groove with my fingernail. This actually can reduce these anomalies. It also can often fix a skip.

The big "damage" from changers wasn't the grooves, but in this era, chipping the edges (shelf/knife changers) or the center hole (early shelf/pusher and some spindle pusher units). In a worst case scenario, a strong systen could crack a record. This perception of damage carried over well into the era where these issues had been eliminated, and changers enjoyed popularity into the 1980s. It's only later the groove damage myth has persisted as the dominant one, as people have largely forgotten about the 78s era.

Steel needles were good for 50 plays, more if you turn them a bit. A COLUMBIA needle developed in the 1940s had a sapphire point. Their outlandish claim was it would last for 10,000 plays.

Osmium and eventually sapphire tipped needles were available. Osmium were good for 250-500 plays, I think. Sapphire more. Up to 1000 or more.

Horrible engineering. If the full-length rotating spindle isn't dead straight, the center holes of records not yet dropped can become worn, and, even worse, the grooves grind on the support shelves, which also have a tendency to chew up the edges of discs during change cycles. Other despicable examples with the same problems exist, many made by US-based companies.

Shellac, although brittle, is much harder and more durable than vinyl. You may be over-thinking this somewhat, there are literally millions of 78s left in the world, most have survived in a playable condition.
