Needle Tin Substitute

Post by Player-Tone »

If you don't have any real antique needle tins these little ALTOIDS 'smalls' tins make nice substitutes.

They're also very handy for holding very small parts like reproducer pins and screws.

In all my years of collecting, I've run across small old tins that held needles. I've seen aspirin tins, bitter pill tins, and even a condom tin. The Altoid tin is excellent. Besides, your breath will be minty fresh at phonograph meetings and shows :lol: :lol:

Another upside is that the majority of these tins are found in MINT condition :roll:
