thanks Bill!!
I also received this from Facebook group. I faced the reproducer diaphragm down when playing lateral records with steel needle installed. Sounds nice.
Ron L'Herault: For vertical playback, the diaphragm should be facing forward. There should be a noticeable rounded end, usually sapphire that touches the record a bit on its side. To play lateral records, you remove that stylus and put a steel needle into the chuck. The reproducer twists counter clockwise, bringing the needle to a vertical position. In your picture, it looks like the ball stylus is pushed into the holder. I've never seen one with that wire sticking out the other end. If you can push the stylus out a bit, maybe a drop of superglue will keep it in the right position.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison
