Search "spear-point phonograph needles" on Ebay; something is bound to come up.

I have purchased the spearpoint needles on eBay through a seller I'm sure most of us are familiar with. However, the one in the picture appears to be angled, much like a trailer needle. While I do have some Laubscher "Melograph" (trailer) needles, I've not seen a spearpoint trailer needle. Or is my vision starting to put angles on everything?

I have founded these needle.Phonycord Pegasus

I bought them off eBay here and these play great! I get 2 good plays from these then trash!

The idea is that you turn the spear point one way for loud tone and the other for medium. I got some of these, and they're fine. But on my machines, loud tone is too loud. I do fine with regular medium tones.
