Yeah especially if you don't have a screwdriver then your stuck with a broken record player if I had know this before I would have never bought it the only turn table I have owned in the past 20 years that needs a f'ckin screwdriver to change the needle... Ridiculous
My record player (Victrola Vta-200b), was skipping right out of the box when I bought it. Finally, I changed out the needle and it hasn't skipped once since. You saved me hours of frustration trying to stop the skipping.
All I have to say is thank you, this was the problem with my great grandmother's vinyl player. And now i get to hear all her beautiful songs. Thank so much
Really helpful - thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate this. Last time I replaced a stylus was in the 60s, so I had no idea what I was looking at.
TREMENDOUS! I bought this Leetac record player at a goodwill store and I wanted to replace the stylus and I just kept looking at it dumbfounded. Didn't want to break it so I found your RUclips Demonstration and I'm good now. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tutorial! I didn't have the instruction manual so after a couple failed attemps about a year ago I got motivated and I found your tutorial today. You made it easy.
Thanks! Just bought an upgrade and wanted to give my entry level to someone else but had the exact same problem with the included stylus. Good to know I can easily replace!
wow i got mine the other day and the audio was awful so i changed it straight away even though i have only had it for a few minutes but it sounds so good now i might of got a bad one with the record player thank you so much as i am only 13 and couldn’t understand the instructions very well 🤦🏽♀️x
Thank you for posting.. first time owning a record player, and it never worked. 1 year, and I finally ordered the stylus, and your video majorly helped me. Thank you
A lot of these players ship with pinkish sapphire styli and should be changed in favor of a diamond-tipped replacement out of the box. I noticed a significant difference when I did this with my little suitcase player. They last a lot longer as well.
@@Recordology Yes. 30-40 hours or so max for sapphire. 400 hours can be expected from diamond. Assuming it's not abused, of course. In fact, I have more issues with the diamond tip breaking off of the cantilever than I do with the stylus actually wearing out. I guess shouldn't complain, in the early days of the acoustic-horn record players, the steel needle was expected to be replaced after EACH PLAY! Seriously, you bought them in boxes of like a hundred, and there was a little cup set into the motorboard next to the platter to store them in. You durn kids with your fancy belt-drive electric doodads.....!
I am a newby and got a cheap Crosley suitcase player and Crosley brand has a RUclips video instructing people to use their THUMBNAIL to pry the needle off!! It’s so stuck on there I couldn’t get it off, This was helpful! I didn’t have a screwdriver but I used a thin blade and it popped off no problem - thank you!
Thank you, I appreciated the unique lo-fi sound my fucked up stylus gave me on certain tracks, but it's definitely not great for all tracks, and this helps me improve listening quality greatly while in on my first vacation in two years
Thanks so much for this vid I was scared to mess with it until I knew how to fix this for sure so I’m glad this video was very helpful and made the process seem very simple
That is super easy! I thought my son's record player was a goner. It's not even a year old and somehow the cantilever is completely gone. Now I can be a hero and have it working again for him with no stress. You are a lifesaver!!
Thanks for this video. I have the BUSH MTT1 mini turntable and have recently bought a diamond stylus to replace the needle. Hopefully I will change it correctly as you have shown.
My UDreamer record player doesn’t have a spot to stick a flathead screwdriver in the red part on yours has a hole shaped like it for yours but idk how I’ll get mine off I think I need a new needle on mine cause mine skips on records
Oh yeah I have a turntable with a pmount , 1/2inch mount and this ceramic cart and the red one was a bit of a difficult task at first. I bought the 1/2 and p mount first.
My god thanks a lot. Just bought a new record and turntable the other day and it started skipping all of a sudden. Thought I’d broken the record already. Thank you for the fix.
I was given a Steepleton Rico Retro player with a 3 speed table so I can play my 78s. Need to swap out the stylus for one that can actually play them though and had absolutely no clue. Thanks for this.
My needle completely disappeared and it was a pretty new turntable. I was wondering why my needle kept skating (going left, all the way across the vinyl really fast) over the vinyl and I noticed the needle has completely disappeared. I have no idea how that even happened. I just looked at this and managed to take the piece off. I just ordered a 4 pack of needles and they will come in a couple of days. I'm hoping this is the problem and this fixes it.
just got my first record player as a broke teenager, and I know enough that the sapphire tipped stylus i had would be no good, wasn't sure how to replace, thanks for the video!
I’ve decided to go about and replace the entire cartridge to a banpa BP2ATC. ( These come with a flipover stylus) And from what I’ve seen it should be a lot better than just a simple stylus replacement
Inherited my sisters old record player and the needle was over 10 years old 😭😭 I didn’t know records could sound this good now that I’ve replaced it lmao
Can you link the actual red stylus with the metal needle you were using for this vid? All the ones I found were the cheaper plastic type. I've got a Numark PT01USB, I assume it will fit. Thank you!

Thousands of stylus lives, right? Why so dramatic..
@@peachesncream781 Bro this is literally the single best needle replacing video on the internet, what are you talking about?
Bro was going to go on a rampage
😂😂💯
Millions maybe

I had the same problem with my new Victrola!
Me too. I just ordered some extra needles@@craeearc

You don’t need god to change a stylus.

Thank you so much, this helped me alot. And drastically changed the sound of my recored player.
Glad it helped!
No website helped me like your video did. Thanks a lot, I just did my first needle replacement :)
Wonderful!
Thank you for posting.. first time owning a record player, and it never worked. 1 year, and I finally ordered the stylus, and your video majorly helped me. Thank you
Exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
Tnx I was about to take my recordplayer to the workshop. I will change it myself

Quite a bit longer from what I understand too!

Are they better for the record?
I don’t want them to eat my wax
I have seen on the internet supposed diamond stylus that have this pinkish tone, are they mislabeled or what?
This was way better instructions than other sites I have seen. Thank you! Finally got the end off.
You saved my record player. Thank you so much!!!!!!
just broke my record player
Same here
Y3ah same
Same lmao
Thank you so much! My brother broke my needle on my very vinyl record player and I couldn’t fix it, your video really helped!
You're welcome!

I thought my record player was gone gone but you gave me hope thank you
Omg I almost donated my record player because I thought it was broken completely!! Tyyy
Your small effort was a huge Thank You of looking into your video. Thank You so much!
Well yes! 4 years since I bought my record player and now I switched the needle. Thanks!
Thanks Brother. Had to replace mine & this helped. Back to playing my Grateful Dead records again.
I bought a red stylus for my mom's ion Archive turntable. It was a close fit, but not exact. This turntable needs the iCT09RS stylus.
Awesome! I appreciate your posting how to do this. Can’t wait to do this :)
First time record player owner and mine got messed up in my move! This literally saved me $100 thank you so much
Thank you so so much. Everything went smoothly. 🙏
While changing records I accidentally knocked the needle out. I wasn't sure how to get it back in, but this video saved me. Thank you so much!
That is super easy! I thought my son's record player was a goner. It's not even a year old and somehow the cantilever is completely gone. Now I can be a hero and have it working again for him with no stress. You are a lifesaver!!
Thanks so much. Good clear image and explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video. I have the BUSH MTT1 mini turntable and have recently bought a diamond stylus to replace the needle. Hopefully I will change it correctly as you have shown.
I practically bent it into a pretzel by accident. I think I'm done for the day.
lol
Does anyone have a recommendation for replacement types ?
Dude that helped a lot, many thanks. Stopped me from busting my Mrs new record player when swapping over to a 78 stylus.
Thank you so much man!
Happy to help!
Bless your soul... first time having to change the needle on mine and you saved me a lot of frustration haha thank you!!
I've been trying for some time and couldn't do it. Thanks, I really appreciate you explaining it.

Thank you for this well made instructional! :)
thank you so much! mine was completely broken and i had no idea what to do! this helped so much
Great to hear!
Replacing these things used to be a doooooozy! I have upgraded to a better turntable with a 1/2 mount since then, but the memories are still with me
Hahahahh nice!
Oh yeah I have a turntable with a pmount , 1/2inch mount and this ceramic cart and the red one was a bit of a difficult task at first. I bought the 1/2 and p mount first.
Thank you so much! This saved my sweet little turntable! So excited to listen to my records again! Whoo hoo!!
Extremely helpful, I thought the issue was with the arm.
My needle fell off the second I got my player so this was litterally a life saver thank you so much
Thanks for showing this! You're awsome.
Many thanks 🙏🏿!!

Damn fine job sir, I was able to change mine without even watching the full video, standing in a wobbly chair and smoking a pipe at the same time
just got my first record player as a broke teenager, and I know enough that the sapphire tipped stylus i had would be no good, wasn't sure how to replace, thanks for the video!
Very helpful and do you have a link to purchase this metal tip stylus. Thanks in advance.
I’ve decided to go about and replace the entire cartridge to a banpa BP2ATC. ( These come with a flipover stylus)
And from what I’ve seen it should be a lot better than just a simple stylus replacement
Vwestlife’s done a vid on it ruclips.net/video/EBbprKEsExM/видео.html
Very cool - Thank you for watching and commenting!
Brilliant. So helpful. ❤❤
Had to switch out my needle for one that can play 78s tysm for this video

Thank you!
Can you link the actual red stylus with the metal needle you were using for this vid? All the ones I found were the cheaper plastic type. I've got a Numark PT01USB, I assume it will fit. Thank you!

Very Helpful little video....I would like to Know how to change the Cart/Stylus unit on my Audio Technica LP60 X..Doesn`t need changing,,,,but would like to be able to do it when i need to...What Cart would i need to order for it please mate ?..I of course know its a white Moving Magnetic cart,but does it have a special number and i guess they can be purchased easily enough..are they expensive ? Havent looked into it... ....Cheers

For the lp60 it uses the at 3600 but the cart cannot be replaced.....only the stylus unfortunately. The lp3 ads the ability to change the entire cart.
@@Recordology..understood...think i was confused between cart and stylus....so,i need to know how the stylus is changed...is it easy..thanks..ade
Thank you!! My stress just went down!!
Thank you so much! It wasn't hard, like you said, but I was so nervous I was gonna break something. And now let's play some records! 🎼🎵🎶
In these comments: people who just learned today that it's called "stylus" and not "stylist". 🤦♂️
Bruh isn’t it styli smh 🤦♂️
