Were these needles only made in 'soft', 'Loud' and 'Extra Loud' I wonder ?
I have never seen any other type of tungstyle needle and have a 'sample' tin which has these three types of needles ......... so I guess these three needle 'tones' were all there were ?
Thank you as always for any help with this.
HMV 'Tungstyle' gramophone needles.

Those were the three options. It does seem odd that Medium/Half Tone was never offered.

Thank you very much as always epigramophone. It does seem odd, I agree.epigramophone wrote: Wed Jun 19, 2024 2:04 pm Those were the three options. It does seem odd that Medium/Half Tone was never offered.
I see a Victor (USA) one on ebay at the moment which states 'full tone' - but I am thinking only about HMV (UK) products.
I am now 'all the wiser' ! Thanks again !
