And then buy some jazz 78s and more steel needles (it came with a pack of 20).

I'd recommend looking for saphire styli for it. They last ~2000 plays, and are lower wear to the records. I don't know if anyone makes them for 40's carts now, but they did make them in the 40's. I've found 2-3 in phonos I've acquired, and I don't plan to let them go.
