Philco 47-1230 phono
#1

I need a needle for this unit. Where might i find one? It has the original player that did well until the jewel of the needle fell off.
#2

Those needles are very rare. Most ppl change the record player because they cant find the cartridge or needle...But, when I wanted one I did find it on ebay. I found it in the closed listings that was never sold and emailed the guy, he still had it and sold it to me. It's worth a try, just keep watching ebay if one isn't there now. You may get lucky.

Ok thanks. I actually made a needle for it. The original had a small piece of metal bent to a 90 degree with the jewel pressed through a hole in the end of it. The other side of the 90 went into a hole in the cartridge. I took metal of the same diameter and bent it into a 90. I then took a stylus from an old bsr turntable and married it to the 90 piece i made. I did this by using small heatshrink to hold the needle and the 90 together. I topped if off with a dab of crazy glue. It worked like the original. The only problem i have with it is that i dont trust it to stay together. It has so far.

Wow, very nice. Hopefully it will.stay . Becareful about putting things in the hole in the Cartridge. I have heard it is very easy to mess the hole up and then it wouldnt work.

Hmmm....just thinking: I have a complete phono for a 46-1226. I wonder if it has what you need on it. I haven't looked at it in a while.

If you wouldnt mind, please look. I would be willing to purchase perhaps.

I'll look. Sorry I got way busy and haven't "forumed" in a while.
