Both the Gramophones I remember from my Childhood & Teenage years had motors fitted with governors, and a speed control which was adjustable between about 65 to 90RPM or so, though all the records I remember my parents having, which dated from the 1920s onwards were nominally 78rpm, except for some Columbia discs which were marked 'Speed 80', over 2.5% faster than 78 of course.
