There's also 16RPM as well.

I'm trying to get a collection of vintage records going (old wartime records - 78's, and also old tango - mainly 33s) - and I'm having all sorts of trouble finding a table that does all 3.
The little red and white one that was jammed into some sort of suitcase I had when I was a child had four speeds. 1 was ultra slow, another was normal, 3rd was like the chipmunks were singing, and then the 4th was like the chipmunks on meth were singing.
