My record players needle broke, is there a way to replace it with a staple or something?
No no! Once it is broken – its a goner. There are tons of places on line that sell replacement needles. Most are pretty cheap depending on the type of cartridge you have. If the cartridge is original, you can send them the make and model number of the record player and they can identify which needle you need. If you know how to remove the needle, put it on your scanner and scan it. Send it to West Tech Services and they can identify it that way. Gib has needles for everything. www.westtechservices.
