Local area audio specialist?

[arib]

My dad recently came into posession of some old 78s of my grandfather singing. He'd like to have them transferred to a digital medium for posterity (and to make it easier for grandma to listen to).

He's tried doing it himself, without too much success. Does anyone know of any sort of resource that would be able to get the audio off of the old records, and clean it up so it's comprehensible?

Thanks, guys!

I've seen turntables that contain digital recorders inside, but I don't know if you can get a 78 needle for one.

here's one.
