FBM--Columbia 99 Needle Pack--Surrey, BC

[Lah Ca]

A type of needle that I have never seen before popped up on FBM here.

Columbia 99 needles, a full package of 10. $30 CDN asking price. I have no idea if this reasonable or not.

These needles are, according to my present and possibly flawed understanding, light weight multi-play needles for later machines with lighter-weight electrical reproducers.

The seller appears to run his FBM account as a junk shop, probably reselling stuff from garage sales and auctions, but he seems to have a good rating from his buyers.

Very interesting indeed.

These appear in the UK from time to time and I have a few packs my-self. As you say, I think, they are for lighter-weight electrical reproducers. (Pick-ups).

Are they expensive ? Well, here in the UK £16.75 (converted to GBP) would be a little bit more than I would pay. If they are very rare in Canada though the price increase may be justified ?
