I have a small 78 RPM Collection myself, and one of the 78 RPM recordings I have is Rachmaninoff Playing his Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor with the Philadelphia Orchestra w/ Eugene Ormandy Directing (I'm assuming the recording was from the same time period as your Rachmaninoff recording which would fo been between 1929 and 1931 and it is a recording meant to be used on a record player with an electrical pickup as opposed to an old mechanical pickup device like the old crank-up victrolas had.)

The records and the case/jacket are in mint condition.
