I have a number of 78 rpm records which I would like to record onto
cassette tapes.  Could you offer some suggestions?

I have a two channel, 9 band (50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400,
and 12800 hz), +-12dB graphic equalizer.  The record player is a KLH
Model 11 (Garrard AT6 turntable with 16, 33, 45, and 78 rpm settings)
which has a mono/stereo switch, volume, balance, bass, and treble controls,
a Grado cartridge, and outputs for speakers only.  I also have a stereo
receiver, with phono, tape, and aux in/out, and a stereo cassette recorder
with Dolby.

How do I hook up this equipment to record the 78's,  get great
sound reproduction, and not blow up?

Should I get a special cartridge for 78's?

What should the tracking weight be set to for 78's?

What is the frequency bandwidth of 78's?

Is there a service/company that will record 78's onto tape and
get rid of the hiss, noise, and pops?
