VJM Grading for 78rpm records-
N As new and unplayed.
N- Nearly mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderated but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V Moderate wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- Quit playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
G+ Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
F Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P Unplayable.
