isadorah Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Maybe someone has a source for this or some advice: I have a very old (ca. 1950s maybe) Magnavox cabinet stereo. The kind that's a piece of furniture with a radio and record player built in. It's quite lovely and still works except one snag, the record player is missing its needle. I called Magnavox, but they were rather clueless as to where to get a replacement needle and even worse what kind of needle I would need to get. Anyone know anything about record needles and or the old school cabinet stereos? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

isadorah Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Thanks Analogman. I swear, I'm really not a ditz, I just seem to phrase my questions to come across as one. I've been directed to NeedleDoctor before, but can't seem to get any info as to what type of needle the turntable actually takes. As with my Bob Edwards post, I continue to dig and hopefully the bigger mystery will be solved. Google results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Maybe you could take some photos of it and send the photos to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 That's a good idea, I'll try that. I've scavenged ebay, it seems most of these beauts are missing the needle. Maybe you could take some photos of it and send the photos to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Maybe you could Frankenstein a different needle in place of the one that is on there. That's what I did with my turntable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
