When looking to buy record player needles, there are a few places to search where you can find an outlet to supply you with a suitable replacement.

Old and damaged needles will never produce quality audio and they will also cause serious damage to your collection of records. There are many types of needle and cartridge and it useful to find an established supplier before you make a purchase.

A good place to visit when you need a stylus is a specialist audio retailer that can be found on many high streets. These shops will have expert staff that will be able to help you find what you are looking for and advise you on your purchases. If the retailer is unable to find you a suitable match, they can usually order one from their suppliers.

If a high street dealer or web based retailer cannot help, it is useful to have a look at an internet auction site. Many of these auctions will have needles listed with a picture and description and you can bid on an item or make an offer. If you are not certain about an item, you can contact the seller directly and ask for more details, before you bid.

In some cases, with older audio equipment, finding replacement parts is almost impossible but there are still a few options available. Searching local junk stores can sometimes produce results as they often sell old turntables. Contacting a qualified electrical engineer may also help as they may be able to make some changes to your deck so that it can be fitted with a different stylus.

If you have the details of the company that made your stylus, it is worth calling them, and many will sell you a suitable replacement. These factories may still stocks needles that they have produced in the past and will sell them to the public. If they do not have any stock that is suitable, they will often recommend a dealer, where you may find what you need.

Styluses are extremely fragile and it is essential to protect them in the correct way. When you purchase a new stylus it should be kept in the box until you fit it to your record deck. Always keep your purchase receipts which will enable you to exchange or return a stylus if necessary.
