[78-L] Need a needle, thanks

[Jim Whipkey]

Mike, thank you for the help. I   have ordered  a  cartridge from Needle
Daddy.  My cartridge is missing, so I  can't be sure  the picture is
correct, but the  site  says it  does, indeed, fit  model SG-650. Price
good too,  less than $14.00 with shipping.  I had  searched Needle Daddy on
E-Bay before  making the request  to the 78 list, but did not see  the  site
you referred.  Thanks again, I'm  always  amazed, but  never surprised to
get accurate and  expert help from the  members of the 78 list.  I don't
contribute often, but read every posting and FWIW, I love most of the  puns,
off-topic meanderings and those which irritate me just go into the trash bin
along with my reduced  opinion of those who get worked up over nothing
really important.
