Stampers, and other "negative" versions of recordings, can be played on
any turntable with the appropriate speed...but have to use a rather odd
forked "stylus." Heep in mind you are trying to play a ridge, which forms
the record groove when it is pressed into the shellac or vinyl that makes
the "record!"
