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?

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.
