Hi, 16 was actually pretty common way back. It was mainly used for talking books and some limited low fi music. It the player is really nice...go for it, but just having 16 is no reason to buy it. Few records are made for anything other than 33 or 45 RPM. Most older stuff was either 33 for LPs or 45 for singles. Now some new LPs are made at 45 as well for extra high performance. You didn't really specify anything about the brand or the player. Some were horrible back then and there actually are some newer ones that are no better. I would not trust my records to 99% of the players from years gone by. Vintage turntables however are another story. Many are quite excellent and are worthy of use in modern systems. Anytime you want information regarding turntables and players the vinyengine.com forum is the place to go. A friendly forum with many knowledgeable folk.
