The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Well, AZ, if you want to unload those Bry-O-Phonics on me, be my guest! Meanwhile, I have several packets of loud-tones to offer: I never use them anymore.

Who called the needle police?

Since a couple of you are going to buy some of Mike Childs needles why not post pricing info. In fact maybe 10 of us should get together buy 30,000 needles and then split them up. Postage to each person will not be that much in the US if there is a significant savings to be had and the quality is that good. In fact I could take that project on if there is any interest.

From an email he sent me a while back:

10,000 100 packs £125.00
7,000 70 packs £87.50
5,000 50 packs £75.00
3,000 30 packs £48.00
2,000 20 packs £40.00
1,000 10 packs £25.00
2-7 packs £2.70 each


Shipping was £25 to Michigan for 10,000

Well if I have converted correctly that works out to a little over $23.00 per thousand-not bad for what appears to be a better needle. For 30,000 we might get close to $22.00 per thousand plus US postage. I would be in on this any others?
Abe

Sure, I'd go in for 1000.

Make mine Medium, please.

George P.

I would be in for 1000 extra soft.
Andreas

I could certainly use 2000 of the medium tone at those prices. 3000 plus a thousand loud tone needles if the extra number will help make a quantity.

Put me down for 1,000 loud and 1,000 medium.

Bill

At this point I see that we are 11,000 including what I would order-If there are any other takers please let me know-Hey Jerry B. don't you need some needles?
