Where to Find: Needle for Fisher Price Record Player?

If you can determine the make and model of the phono cartridge (the module on the end of the arm that holds the needle), you might be able to find a replacement here:

Here's another potential. Don't believe they have a website:

Radio Shack has them all I suggest you check their website www.radioshack.com and do a search, if anyone is going to have what you need it's ratshack!

 

Since we're talking about, essentially, a toy here, this thread won't be moved to A/V Sources.

Wouldn't this thing have a lowly ceramic phono cartridge, with a flipover-type stylus? And would you really want to risk the damage to any valued vinyl recordings by playing them on this thing (it probably tracks at five or six grams)?

 

The counterweight variance on the Fisher Price unit is suprisingly amazing.

 

Oddly, even though many of these had a flippable cartridge, many also offerred a 78RPM speed. I guess the kids found "Chipmunk speed" entertaining, as I doubt people were putting real 78RPM records on it..

However, on the one I still have in a closet, one side of the cartridge reads 45/78

 

I don't mean to be a "smart ass" but:

Have you tried contacting Fisher Price?

I would think they would be the best to know what the repalcement part is and where/how to order it.
