Good luck.


Thanks for the info and the link, the last 3 pictures look the most close to my needle but I don't know if it would fit or work, I really need to match up my old needle with a new one- I sent a e-mail to needledoctor.com and they would like me to e-mail them a picture of my old needle, I'm not good at e-mailing pictures. I guess he has tons of old needles, I guess the old record player is starting to make a comeback because they sound so much better than a cd.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYL9A0h6FRM&feature=related    This is what my Motorola record player looks like, there are 3 of them on youtube, however my player does not have the radio on the left, I have a record strorage area there, and my front speaker covering does not look as nice, mine is worn & torn, but the rest of it is great as in the video. The unit has a big 15" speaker and it has 3 smaller speakers next to it. The dials all light up and looks great. 8)

People really post four minute long videos of their console stereos on YT?  Seriously?

I guess if you have beginning 12 year old accordion students playing Inagaddadavida on video, might as well have videos of old record players.  8)

Indeed, there are alot of long videos- I just wanted to show what my Mototola unit looked like. (minus the radio)  There are alot of other interesting record players and reel to reel tape recorders on youtube. I'd like to get one of those 1960's Wolzenzack commerical tape recorders, I seen some good ones. I  have some old reel to reel tape recordings of my high school band since my sister played in the band they let me tape some some of the concerts the school band did. However my reel to reel tape recorder is from 1967 and the heads are worn the motor belts are shot, but I still have the tapes,  I even have our school song recorded from 1973, played by the 11th & 12 grade band. (class of 74 & 73). The recordings still can be played, but the worn  & dirty heads hurt the sound.  :-[
