The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi All.

I am in the process of rebuilding my HMV model 102D gramophone. All I need now are the needles for it and the screw to hold the needles in place on the diaphragm.
Can anyone help me with a good source for these items as well as suggest the best type of needle to go with. I am in the Toronto, Canada area.
Thanks.

You may want to do a search in our history. There are several threads on new needle suppliers along with members opinions. You can also contact the major suppliers that sell new needles in the US.
Great Lake Phonograph may have the needle bar screw. Ron Sitko also carries needles and the bar screws.

Type his name in our forum search for his phone number (he is not on line).

A Google search will produce these and other suppliers.

As a Canadian collector also, I'm not aware of a supplier up here.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks for your help on this....will have a look at the history and contact the people you suggested.
