Need Help Finding a Styli

[boydrj]

Hello everyone,

I need someone's help. I recently bought an old 60's cabinet (the sound is great) at an antique shop.

The trouble is, I am having trouble finding a needle to go to the phonograph.

The brand name of this console is "Bradford" which I have never heard of, and I figure there must be a name brand out there somewhere that corresponds.

The console is a Bradford Rhapsody. The only information I could find as far as a needle goes is "STV2" which is the numbers and letters listed on the old one (but the actual needle is missing).

This is the type of needle where on one side you can play your LP's, and then you can flip it over to play 78's.

Can anyone help me, or lead me in the right direction? I have a ton of old vinyl, and I do have a newer turntable, but I think it will be cool to listen to this music the way it was intended: on an old phonograph with the sound going through the tubes and out of the built in speakers (too cool) ...

Thanks.

Take a look at http://www.diamondstylus.co.uk/

I could not find the make you mentioned, but if you look through the pics, there are a lot of those flip-over needles in the catalog. Maybe if you ask them they can help you further.

Thanks Havoc.

I'm going to check it out and see what I can find.

Yo BoyDRJ:

I just did a GOOGLE search for "phonograph replacement needels," and got a ton of sites in the USA for replacements.

This might save you shipping costs?
