The thing is that most usb turn tables play 33 rpm at about 35, 45 at about 47 and so on, because they are made with the least expense possible.
so the best way for you to do it is get one from a place that accept returns, find a record you have on cd or can listen to online and test it or...
one of the creepiest records ever is don't go down in the ine dad, especially stan kirkby's recording from i think 1910 or so
also down in te willow garden by the everly brothers, very shivery.
Any versions of the song ready for the river (the shivery river, so get the river ready for me)...

eh, at least he was apparrently not as big a jerk as benny goodman, about the owning a knife thing, and, in my opinion he was a better player. His version of in the still of the night with strings gives me chills.
here are some of mine, and i really love this stuff.
tear drops, lee andrews and the hearts.
little rose, the blenders.
i wonder why/blue valentine, the solitaires.
i'm afraid, billy bunn and his buddies.

I'm 22 and am a 78 rpm record collecter, mostly jazz and dance bands and 1910s stuff, i have an mp3 player but guess what? it's full of transfers of 78s and 50s 45s :p and cylinders that i have downloaded.
so nope, you're not the only younger person into records, you'll be pleased to know.
you should try
20th century radio
the 1920s radio network
and, best for otr, goldradionetwork.net
googling any of these will bring them straight up
the 20s radio network has an old time radio station as well, it's great!
