Yes, you can rig a 78 rpm Victor phonograph to play a 33 rpm LP, but it requires modifications that could affect sound quality and potentially damage the records or the phonograph. You would need to adjust the turntable speed, which may involve mechanical alterations or using an external device like a speed controller. Additionally, ensure that the stylus and cartridge are suitable for playing LPs, as those designed for 78s may not track the grooves correctly. Proceed with caution and be aware of the risks involved.
