Can the record player needle, in this unit, be replaced???? The one in the Crosley cannot be replaced.

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-->

Yes, the needle is replaceable. In fact, you can get replacement needles at Amazon. Here's the link:http://tinyurl.com/mmthg9h

I am not sure if it can be replaced. I will have my husband look tonight. I am not sure but I don't think the quality of this stereo unit is that great!!!!!! I have been playing our records which are old and scratched and I am not too impressed with the sound.

I am pretty sure it can be. I bought two replacement needles that are to be used with this unit. I haven't tried it yet. There are instructions included as to how to replace a needle.

Turntableneedles.com has the right needle. Go online, give them make and model number of record player, and they will have your needle.

I would just get one on Amazon or eBay. I would google "Craig Turntable" and "replacement needle" or something along those lines. The Craig record player I got came with an extra one. Sorry I didn't have more info

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 don't believe this model allows changing of the needle. Google the name,model,and needle issue...you might get some results. I just ordered a new turntable this christmas of better quality that allows for needle changes. I needed to have a specific needle for the 78 rpm's I want to play. Good Luck! John from Duluth,Mn.

This one looks to be the replacement stylus: Pfanstiehl Vinyl Record Player 793-D7M Diamond Needle Stylus, Replaced 793-D7. I found it here in Amazon, and compared it to the one I have. The vendor I bought my unit from included an extra stylus.

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.

When the needle fell out, we had to use a flat head screw driver and pop it back into the little crevice that it belonged in. Kind of hard to explain, this thing was such a pain!!!

I had the same issue. The needles broke over & over and are not the easiest to change out. I ended up selling mine. Was very disappointed.

Hi Cyrena, The replacement needles are available from Amazon Canada. Unfortunately Amazon will not allow me to post the link for you so simply go to the Amazon Canada site and entire the follow title into the search: Electrohome Premium Replacement Diamond Tipped Needle (2 Pack) for Turntables/Record Players - EANOS501 & EANOS502 The price is for 2 needles and is very good. Hope this helps you!

Not that I have noticed, I have done it several times myself! It may shorten the needle's overall life span ... whatever that might be ... but as for damage to the record, that's unlikely.

Very sorry, I do not know, I never try that kind of technology procedure. I am not a technology person, I just play music and really enjoy my Crosley. Again very sorry.

Not necessarily. The one I received didn't have the needle. So I have to order one separately. :-S

Just replace the broken one. Also, you don't have to have all the needle slots filled to operate the machine. Some small detail work only needs a couple of needles. I'm no expert--just a newbie user. Enjoy creating!
