I am looking for a new turntable myself now.
(As well as receiver, cd player, tape deck, etc.)
The bad news is - many receivers don't come with turntable inputs!, and for currently made turntables, 78 rpm is probably rare.
I do see the Pro-ject Perspective model says a motor for 78 rpm is available as an optional extra, but the whole thing is probably already so pricey I don't think you'll be interested. The brochure I'm looking at gives "www.project-audio.net" as an internet address
But the audio store I am going to does a lot of repairing and refurbishing of old turntables, and perhaps you should see if there is a place locally doing such work.
Other than that, garage sales are probably your best bet, tho refurbishng might be required anyway. Good luck!
Was your Dad recording to 78 in the early 1960's? I thought that pretty well ended by the mid 50's, when 33 and 45's were well established.
