- Jan 22, 2013 The needle broke on my Crosley CR704 record player, and I've bought the correct replacement needle, but now I can't get the first needle cartridge off the player.
- Piezoelectric pickups work the same way, but in reverse. The stylus is attached to a germanium crystal or ceramic rod (hence the name). The grooves of the record move the stylus which bends the crystal which generates an electrical signal.
To give you a better overall experience, we want to provide relevant ads that are more useful to you. For example, when you search for a film, we use your search information and location to show the most relevant cinemas near you. We also use this information to show you ads for similar films you may like in the future. Like Oath, our partners may also show you ads that they think match your interests.
Figure the cost of one new record multiplied by 50 to 100 times, and compare that to the cost of a needle and the answer start to become obvious. So how long does a needle really last? The technical answer is about 2000-3000 plays for a diamond needle and about 600-800 plays for a sapphire tipped needle. If it doesn’t, simply use a small screwdriver and pliers to remove the old cartridge from your cartridge carrier or head shell. Step 6 Remove new needle Remove the needle from your new cartridge before installing it by gently pulling it out with your fingers. Make sure your hands are clean and free of oil. Load up your favorite record, sit back, and enjoy the smooth sound from your new needle! Did You Know? The most expensive turntable in the world is the Continuum Caliburn, which costs $90,000.
