A frequent question asked of these Forums is along the lines of "Where can I get a new stylus and/or cartridge for my record-player, music-centre etc".

We have therefore compiled the following list, which is no doubt by no means comprehensive, to assist with the aforementioned question. Please notify us of any further suppliers which we can add to the list and who you feel offers a good, reliable service.

To assist members, especially those who wish to purchase from suppliers in their own countries (say, for reasons of postage costs), the following list is compiled in alphabetical order of country and not website name.

www.soundring.com.au (Australia).

http://www.jvanschaikconsultancy.nl/naald.html (Netherlands).

http://www.styli.co.nz/ (New Zealand).

https://shop.mantra-audio.co.uk/acatalog/Styli.html (United Kingdom)

http://www.diamondstylus.co.uk (United Kingdom) As of July 2009 this business has apparently been taken over by http://www.lawtontrade.co.uk/ and no further information is available as of that date. November 2012. It would appear a swallow-up by B-Tech has taken place and the former DSC products are no longer available. If anybody knows differently then please let us know.

http://www.gettheneedle.co.uk/index.php (United Kingdom) Styli and turntable belts.

http://www.musonic.co.uk (United Kingdom)

http://www.a-v-a-online.com/ (United Kingdom) Styli, cartridges, belts etc.

http://www.signalsuk.com/ (United Kingdom) Click the Styli link for cartridges. Note that as of 02/13 the SC12 type cartridge is listed but, apparently, is unavailable.

http://www.windupgram.co.uk/ (United Kingdom) Gramophone needles.

http://www.m-p.co.uk/ (United Kingdom). This is Meadows and Passmore, the clock people, who also supply needles for acoustic gramophones and motor springs for the same. Here is a direct link to their gramophone pages.

http://www.fonograf.com/ (United Kingdom) Gramophone needles and other parts.

http://store.acousticsounds.com/ (United States).

I have removed www.stylusplus.co.uk from the above list as there appears to be an issue with them currently. See http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=95952
