There were multiple EQs utilized during the 78 era so a single one could hardly be considered professional.

But then with 78s there are several considerations if one wants to optimize performance, EQ being only one. The other two main things are appropriate stylus tip size and playback speed. No, not everything was recorded at 78. See my link for guidelines to optimize playback.

On the other hand, one could find any turntable with the 78 speed (cactus suggested a few) and play the records with a modern stereo cartridge and not worry about it. ;^)
