Unless the unit has been properly overhaulled previously, it'll need more than a needle.
Discussed in another thread on here - the replacement of the cycle cam, idler wheel, and a new cartridge, along with motor mounts, chassis shock mounts, a complete flush/clean/relube.
All these parts will cost on average around 80-100 bucks, plus labor. - a one-time investment.
But once performed, the player will run like a clock.

I perform professional service and restorations of such equipment, however I'm backlogged several months, and have to put people on a waiting list.
