My record player (Victrola Vta-200b), was skipping right out of the box when I bought it. Finally, I changed out the needle and it hasn't skipped once since. You saved me hours of frustration trying to stop the skipping.

A lot of these players ship with pinkish sapphire styli and should be changed in favor of a diamond-tipped replacement out of the box. I noticed a significant difference when I did this with my little suitcase player. They last a lot longer as well.

@Recordology 5 жыл бұрын

Quite a bit longer from what I understand too!

@xaenon 5 жыл бұрын

@@Recordology Yes. 30-40 hours or so max for sapphire. 400 hours can be expected from diamond. Assuming it's not abused, of course. In fact, I have more issues with the diamond tip breaking off of the cantilever than I do with the stylus actually wearing out. I guess shouldn't complain, in the early days of the acoustic-horn record players, the steel needle was expected to be replaced after EACH PLAY! Seriously, you bought them in boxes of like a hundred, and there was a little cup set into the motorboard next to the platter to store them in. You durn kids with your fancy belt-drive electric doodads.....!

My needle completely disappeared and it was a pretty new turntable. I was wondering why my needle kept skating (going left, all the way across the vinyl really fast) over the vinyl and I noticed the needle has completely disappeared. I have no idea how that even happened. I just looked at this and managed to take the piece off. I just ordered a 4 pack of needles and they will come in a couple of days. I'm hoping this is the problem and this fixes it.

Hi! Thank you for the nice video! I'd like to ask something: how many different "red tip replacement needles" are out there to buy? I would like to buy a replacement red tip needle for my record player and I am lost because there are dozens of record player brands, but/and their replacement "red tip needles" look exactly the same on the pictures. (I want to order it online) In other words: is there a specific red needle for a specific brand of record player or - I just buy any and it will fit? Given their cheap and plastic nature it is hard to imagine that there are as many types of red needles as many different brands of record players. I'd really appreciate it if someone could answer this! Thanks!
