Is there any suitable and affordable sets of Seeburg Blue needles for a mono redhead cartridge available?
If you are asking about new needles, Needles-for-Jukeboxes had some stock 2 weeks ago and the quality was good BUT the price is prohibitive! I have a local friend who bit the bullet and ordered a set because he has been without needles for about 1 year! I think John at Flippers.com may have some stock, they have become difficult to find. Go figure, I should have stocked up years ago! Didn’t see this coming tho.

The ones I got from him don't fit into the cartridge, not far anyway. It would take an act of God to pull them out again. He said that the needles are fine, it's the cartridges that shrunk. Has anyone heard of those darned shrinking cartridges?

That’s a load of crap.
A few years back there were a bunch of these that were circulating that did the same thing.
BTW it’s never his fault

Has anyone tried contacting Gary at The Voice Of Music? info@thevoiceofmusic.com I get needles and cartridges from him all the time, mostly for phonographs. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. I don't know if he has listings for Jukes, though.

I bit the bullet and bought a set of the redhead needles from Needles4Jukeboxes a couple months back and they worked great for me. He said that his supplier may not make anymore because it’s not worth it to him. So for my sample of one - no issues with fit.
Both Victory and Needles4Jukeboxes sell a redhead replacement cartridge that take more available needles. I know they are not always in stock and they are both stupid expensive. The Victory cart listing says it may require some weighting mods and will require the addition of a preamplifier. The Needles4Jukeboxes one claims to often be a drop-in replacement. I have not tried either so can’t really talk to the quality, but a local jukebox firm owner swears by the Needles4Jukebox ones. You can find these in his Seeburg cartridges section along with the needles.
I also have another seeburg that takes the also obsolete T-needles. It’s crazy that these needles used to sell for pennies. I can’t believe someone isn’t making reasonably inexpensive replacements. There are still a lot of these jukes out there!
Thanks, -steve.
