The Oak predates the Fig. Paleocene and perhaps older versus Miocene. The edible fig did not exist until men bred it. 3 Quote

MeloManiac Posted October 11, 2021 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
oldtimer Posted October 11, 2021 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

billybob Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 After remarks above, take cartridge needle, stylus apart, and reassemble. 2 Quote
Dave1291 Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Come on Willis... I'm not takin my cartridge apart. It's not in my job description. 1 1 2 Quote
Dave1291 Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 NO! Deaf, blind and gettin the old person shakes and don't own a microscope to eyeball. NOT in my job description! lol I'm also a hammer mechanic! Hope your neck is feeling better. Day at a time! 1 1 Quote
MeloManiac Posted October 11, 2021 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
billybob Posted October 11, 2021 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
Full Range Posted October 12, 2021 Author 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
