Wanted Brunswick Ultona sapphire needle

[Willysx1]

Looking for a needle or a picture of the correct sapphire needle for playing Pathé records with a Ultona soundbox.

What you’re looking for is a shank-mounted sapphire stylus. In the context of old phonographs, the term ‘stylus’ implies a permanent jeweled point. The term ‘needle’ implies an impermanent, disposable point (like a steel needle).

Thanks for the info. Are they straight or do they have a bend in the shank?

Bent shanks are for the 1930s-1940s electric phonographs. You need one with a straight shank designed for like the old Pathé phonographs.

I hope your Brunswick still has the collet to screw the new needle into the reproducer.

I can't find anybody that sells them. Any ideas where they are available at?

If I were working on one of these, I would be using this. Might want to make sure the stylus shank fits in the Ultona but anyway, see how that goes. The seller is a member here & makes a lot of nice stuff.
