needles

[Mark Jackson]

Does anyone know of a place that sells needles for old Victrolas?

I remember when I was a kid my dad had some "fiber?" or "bamboo?" needles.

:confused:

Here's some info on fibre needles (says that no-one makes them anymore):

They also sell 50 (I presume steel) needle packs for $4 (paypal)

The steel needles played louder. The fibre (or cactus) needles impart a mellow tone on your 78's.

Kind of a primitive tone control for acoustic 78's...
