This extraordinary needle outfit seems to be based on the Tungstyle principle, but with renewable wires. Would you trust it with your records? I wouldn't.
Does anyone know when, where and by whom it was made?

Re: Gloria refillable needles!
I've never seen this before, but it looks very interesting!
It appears to follow the same principle as the Everplay needle made in the USA:
Perhaps the Gloria example has slightly thicker lengths of tungsten wire. That would be good, as the Everplay's is a bit too thin, IMO.
It'd sure be easy to refill, even with new lengths of wire.

I'm with you, but it would be cool to own.epigramophone wrote:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272019338357? ... EBIDX%3AIT
