Beogram 6500 : MMC5 needle missing ... what do do ?

5 replies

Hi all, I recently picked up a Beogram 6500. It was stated as "non working"

 

I checked everything : the belt is a bit loose, that's an easy fix.

 

But I saw that the MMC5 is missing the needle itself, the tip, I think it might have broken off.

See pictures ;)

What can be done to fix this ? or is it better & easier to buy a new needle ? Whereabouts can you get these ?

Many thanks TECHHN, I have sent an email ;)

I've ordered a new belt too, would be a pity to have such nice record player go to waste :(

Hi.

I hope you have ordered belt set from "Dillen"

All others have the wrong elasticity.
