Yes, the AT311EP IS elliptical. It's excellent and inexpensive, too. Andi t should be a perfect fit for your LAB 2200. Good Luck! Jay Calloway

Yes it is - but the needle a pretty long, so you need to buy some less long I think. Otherwise the needle tool works great, been using it for years, no claims.

The Schmetz needles have the "flat side" which is usually able to be used in all machines. so if your normal needles have a flat side, you should be OK.

Yes, I did get a couple of different stylus needles for mine, but really the one that came with the unit sounds the best. The other work, but you have to trim the plastic of the cartridge and adjust, but I managed to get both to snap in. It just snaps in, and these cartridges are flexible plastic, not completely rigid plastic. So if you have any trouble getting it to fit, it may have to be looked at carefully and then trim a tab or heat melt a tab to fit. But the original one is great. I have a 78rpm needle and the smaller 33rpm needle, but the original sounds great on both. Great is a relative term here, but it plays all the records and it's portable.

I agree with all the other commenters/reviewers. You can't go wrong with either the AT311EP or the AT92E (also known as the AT92ECD)---The AT92ECD package also includes an accessory kit which has a small screwdriver for securing the cartridge in the tonearm. And, as ProfessionalGamer mentioned, it IS cheaper. I will add that some people also like the AT3482P cartridge, the cheapest of the three. It uses a carbon fiber stylus which (possibly) smooths out shrill "metallic" sounding high frequencies which might occur on some records. And it's supposed to be ideal for playing 45 singles, if you have a lot of those. Just another option to consider. Anyway, Good Luck, Shawn!

I have a record player that clearly says "replacement needle NP1" but when I bought one the "tooth" in the front was so small that it wouldn't hold the cartridge up. I thought it was a defect in the plastic mold so I bought another. same problem. Finally I called the manufacturer of the turntable and they said it needs the NP6 which replaces the NP1.

It's on the instruction book page 13. Make sure you change your needle regularly. If that don't work call a Janome dealer, they are real helpful.

The one with the pull-out is a BEAP 10001, different item, sells for less than BEAP 10013 and has NO reviews. I know that since I ordered 10013, received 10001 in error and researched it. Anyone know if 10001 works?

I could not use them. The needle is to big to fit into my cartridge. I may try to find a smaller needle....

This is why I bought from a local dealer. They know their customers are not DJs so they switch to selling this turntable only with AT95E cartridges. I got a similar price and the comfort to know that the dealer is using his/her expertise to look out for me. With specialized products like this it's good to consult an expert.

As of 12/2015, Jensen customer service says you should use the stylus it came with for all speeds. That's their opinion. You can get the proper needle at the "lpgear" site. Unfortunately it's half the cost of the turntable.

Yes. I ordered two replacement needles when I purchased the unit. You will be pleasantly surprised at the performance and sound quality of this unit. I considered the Crosley but too many negative reviews led me to the Electrohome unit. Be sure and clean the records before playing or recording them. It will help reduce static and will make the needle last much longer. Good luck-->

Sorry, I have no idea, but the NP1 looks like a fairly generic needle to me.
