I *might* have one somewhere around here.  I know I used to have one.  IIRC
that speed was mostly used for vocal transcriptions such as speeches or
readings, it's too slow for any reasonable high frequency response.  A
similar problem existed with the 1.875 ips
tape speed in reel-to-reel tape recorders, I have a machine that will do it
but the fidelity isn't too good (compared to 7.5 ips).

I *can* do 33.33, 45, and four flavors of 78 (76.16 thru 80) - the nominal
78 rpm wasn't really a standard and different manufacturers used different
speeds (Edison used 80 rpm).  I can also do 16" diameter
transcriptions (if I ever manage to find a place to set up the turntable).
