Max Royle, a resident of St. Augustine, Florida, responded to the call — he donated 800 78s in mint condition. Also instrumental to the process was WJCT Engineer Alan Rhodes, who cleaned each record by handwashing both sides with soap and water, and then gave the records to Luckin to digitize. “We’re preserving American music history and sharing it with the community,” Luckin said, “one 78 at a time.”
