The Oak predates the Fig. Paleocene and perhaps older versus Miocene. The edible fig did not exist until men bred it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Need some quick opinions on what's going on with my pickup needle. This needle was bought in 2020 for my vintage Onkyo CP1000A in order to bring it back to life. When I put it down, it skids one or two centimeters toward the center (scratch!) and then it starts playing with lots of distortions and jumps. Can't see anything wrong with it, though. My guess is it is broken and needs replacement, right? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Look at it under a microscope, and if it's not overly worn it could be your tonearm. Make sure all the settings are still where you put them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Thanks for the input. After all considerations, and resetting everything, the issue remains. I think the cheapest solution will be to replace the needle. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hope that is the fix. Would compare stylus to online close-up. I would likely be wrong but would try another lp after cleaning the tip with light vigor. Too bad another stylus not laying about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Time difference has me coming in late The list to check Dirty record grooves Dust accumulation on the diamond Cartridge weight on the record Anti skate adjustment Damaged or worn diamond stylus If worn or damaged it’s better to replace 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
