Talking magazines (e.g., Time, Newsweek) for the blind were on 8-1/3 rpm
records around 8-10 years ago; my wife's grandfather had a subscription
to Newsweek in that format.

Our local library loans adapters to regular turntables to get the lower
speed(s) -- probably some gear-reduction assembly, fairly thin [although
tracking angle probably isn't all that critical on slow-speed, relatively
low-usage records, especially "use-once" ones like news mags].
