Just transfer it onto whatever the next storage device is. You can even put your old 78s on to your PC now.
Anyone remember the old Sinclair Spectrum scam? Buy a new Spectrum for £148, plus an aftermarket full size keyboard for about £50 and a power supply for £15. The internals of the Spectrum were installed into the new case and some unscrupulous types used to then put a lead weight inside the original Sinclair case and return it to Boots or wherever claiming it was faulty and demanding a refund.
Apparantly Sinclair ended up with a warehouse full before they discovered the ruse.
