Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a replacement needle for my USB turntable? Like a dope I snapped the needle clean off.
Thanks
George

Re: Replacement Needle
Contact the manufacturer. Don't bet the farm on finding one. You bought a throw-away turntable. I recently paid for a cartridge and stylus for my high-end turntable what you paid for the whole turntable.
People sometimes post here when their throw-away turntable needs throwing away a little too soon.
That brings up a possibility. Usually, the USB service fails. You should contact the supplier and try to find a dead turntable where the stylus is still OK. Judging by the forum postings, there were a lot of those.

Re: Replacement Needle
I found a replacement stylus from the 'needle Dr.'. I'll post the link once I receive it and confirm that it actually fits. Thanks for the replies.

Re: Replacement Needle
Slightly Off-Topic: I used to use a company based in Southern England for cartridges and Stylus repairs/replacement who called themselves "Expert Pickups Ltd." - for some strange reason thay have changed their trading name ........

Re: Replacement Needle
Purchased the stylus from the needle doctor on line and it was a great transaction. Cost was about $37. It actually is the correct one. THanks to all who replied.
