Wind-up Phonograph (Victrola) Needles Styli & Needles Herein lies the story ofThe standard steel needles used to play records on wind up phonographs must be changed after every play in order to prevent excessive record wear. (If you buy an antique phonograph that comes with needles, it is best to discard them and start over with a fresh supply unless you are positive that they are truly unused.) The needles we sell come in three tones: soft, medium and loud. Needles are sold in quantities of 200 for $15. 00.
