Anyone with experience with GLASS phono needles?

Post by barnettrp21122 »

Hello all:
I noticed this item on Ebay, and wondered if anyone has used these before:

It seems like they would be easy to make using one or two-millimeter glass rods cut and sharpened to the proper length. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thank you, the link is very helpful!

If anyone has some of these I wonder if he/she could measure the thickness with a micrometer.
Thanks again!
