The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I got the Graduola (volume control) working on the machine and wondering what type of needles should I buy. I see they offer loud medium and soft tone needles.
I think I can use loud needles and just turn volume down?

Thanks Steve

The louder the needle, the more likely it is to wear the record. I use soft or extra soft indoors, and only use loud when playing portables outdoors.

I suggest soft tone as well, I get mine from Walt Sommers.(https://www.ebay.com/usr/cyber_tigger?_ ... 7675.l2559)
