Hey Guys,

I have a record player that I bought from a garage sale years ago. It also has a built-in tape deck and radio. It's been working great until recently when I was adjusting the needle, it just snapped off.. must of been getting old. I have searched online but couldn't find what needle to replace that one. Please advise. Here are some pictures of it:

Amazing the thing plays with that much DIRT on it.

And the photos don't give a clue as to what cartridge it uses.

So then how do i figure out which needle i need to get for it?

Maybe you could try posting photos of the needle itself, and the actual cartridge, perhaps noting any numbers on it.
A top-view of the whole tonearm isn't worth the bother, we need to see the guts.

hmmm, the needle itself snapped off. How do i remove the cartridge?

Lift the arm, and shoot a photo of what's there--might send it to www.needles4turntables.com Ron Rich

Even tho I don't recognize that cartridge and I have no idea what my "bippy" is, I am willing to bet it, that if you send those photos to the place I listed above, he will be able to help you-- Ron Rich
