Happy listening, Tink! Remember this: We were all "green" at some point. You never stop learning about this hobby. I'm still not "ripe" myself! If you ever have a noob question you think is too dumb to post in a thread, just PM me... and I'll help if I can.
Wow... excellent post! Thank you for taking the time to write it, and for offering to answer any of my noob questions! :rose:

I should not say this.........but,the case was free!!!!.Now,everyone will want one!!!! :lol: :lol: .I think you should send a pack to "Tink" IF she takes off the shades but,leave the ears on please...... ;)

1926, what is up with that 100.00 money back thing!!!???.It is very funny.
Seriously,the design is very good.I don't care much for this type of needle.However,with the feed coil to keep you going.It is handy to say the least.
A friend (non-Phono collector) found the whole thing you see in the pic and just gave it to me.That was a long time ago now.I have only ever opened one and used it.

:o :shock: :twisted: :oops: :lol:.That sums it up for me....... :D.I don't think anyone has made a comment on your pic "Tink" if there was I missed it.Therefore,allow me to be the first........it's great!!!!.I wouldn't change a thing about it.However,this is only my opinion.In order to get needles from '26 he may disagree.Personaly,I really enjoy giving others things away.... :roll: :lol:.

I think it sounds about the same as the Victor "tung" needles.What I did like was the "feed" idea.It is really nice and handy.That said,I have always found these needles to be weak sounding.
