Just to chime in, in response to Steve's posting also, I think the yellow needles will be around a long time. They served all the Seeburgs from the showcase onwards, lots of models, Sound leisure jukeboxes, and Associated Leisure ones in the UK. Sound leisure make a current vinyl model and I think that uses them too. Essentially they are a Pickering /Stanton fit, and even if all the yellow ones ran out, the Stanton 500 and equivalent ones will fit if you cut the plastic mount down. So don't worry about those going out of production.

I haven't worked with Seeburgs yet (just Wurlitzer and AMI), but I'm sure there's solutions out there for alternate cartridges that use common stereo styli, just as I do on Wurlitzer and AMI. The same concepts would apply, unless you use a non-magnetic cartridge. Sounds like the Victory offering is non-magnetic.

Kinda hard to get excited about doing this now that the T-needles seem to be impossible to get. What are people doing about that? I saw that Victory is occasionally selling a new-build cart that can take the yellow needles, but you also have to add some sort of box between the tonearm and amp input (or replace the tube amp). Seems a bit Rube Goldbergesk. And who know how long the yellow needles will be around. I see you can’t buy the mono redhead stereo compliant needles either, so seems like there will be an awful lot of Seeburgs available cheep soon - just no easy way to play records on ‘em. Thanks, -steve.
