If you don't have a use for those, and want to
part with them REAL cheap,
I might be interested in taking some of them off your hands. Not that I
am a collector of these things, but a variety of records to play on my
Victrola would be nice (I only have about 20 right now, and most of those
I am afraid to actually play... not to mention I only have a few new
needles left, so until I can figure out a safe replacement, or a safe way
to sharpen old needles,
You can not reuse needles, nor can you sharpen them. With the
acoustic-era machines, needles are used exactly *once*. Play the record,
then pitch the needle. If you reuse needles, you will wreck the records.
Needles are very available from several sources. They are quite
inexpensive (they have to be!).
