    Magnavox 2P3462 Needle

    I'm trying to determine what needle for my magnavox 2P3462 drum table. I know it's a Magnavox automatic. From looking at the needle it looks like it could be a 376-D7 or a 558-D7. They look identical to me and neither include my model number. Does anyone know whether either of these might work...

    When I turn up the Volume, I get a hum.

    I'm restoring an old Magnavox Stereo Console Model 1SC 268F, with a Collaro turntable. Not sure the year, but 60's era for sure. I've cleaned and lubricated the record changer. I've cleaned the cartridge, put in a new needle, and replaced the tone arm wiring. See Photos. The changer works...
