Hi everyone - newb here making my first post
So I have a question that is most likely going to make all of you shake your head, and then rub the brow in disbelief.
But - I truly need to ask.
So I own that Sony HP-210. And for the turntable it is missing the needle.
To be honest I have not put a needle (stylus) in since I was about 10 years old. And at that time, one - I didn't care if I broke the record player, and two - it was an actual needle and not a whole cartridge.
Well now that I work to pay for everything I own - I am freaked out about breaking something on the vintage stereo.
I checked on youtube and haven't found a single video on how to replace the needle, and I don't remember anything on how to do it other than just inserting the needle and presto it worked - and I don't have the original manual for this Sony.
So I was hoping that someone here can either point me to a video that I somehow missed. Or let me know step by step how to change the cartridge or just put a new needle in. When I look at it, it seems that the cartridge is still there fine, but the whole needle itself is missing.
And I wanted to order a replacement needle or cartridge so if anyone would like to let me know who they are using for their supplier it would really be appreciated.
thanks in advance everyone!!!!
