For sale is your choice(s) of vintage WALCO phonograph replacement needles, left behind in the Walco display case that he must have kept in his electronics service shop.  My dad was an electronics serviceman for much of his life, and he always kept a good inventory of spare and replacement parts on hand, for speedy service for his customers, available for walk-in customers to his service shop, and handy for his own personal electronic projects.  The inventory was kept in a smoke-free environment. 

I found these needles in a wood-like display box, which my dad must have kept available for customers.  I have made an inventory of the needles that remained in the drawers, listing for each, the cartridge for which the needle would replace.   I have photographed each needle, front and back, and a close-up of the needle.  Some of the needles slid in the packaging, but I attempted to get the best photo that I could.  On the back of the package, the information tells which kind of record the needle is for, the equivalent Astatic needle, and directions for installation.  I have not opened any of the packages, and they are in the originally sealed "bubble."   They are being sold as is, as photographed, and untested, no returns.

I will set up the shipping to only charge shipping for the first needle purchased, and not charge any shipping for all of the additional needles that you might purchase.  In fact, one drawer was full of Fidelitone needles, which I have also listed.  Put those in My Cart with the ones in this order, and Request a Total.  Don't pay yet.  I will send you an invoice with all the additional shipping removed for you.   I am also listing several vintage NOS phonograph cartridges for your restoration projects.  Those would ship free, as well.

(If you would like to make a generous offer for the bulk of the needles, I will include the Walco storage container.   (In the photos, there are 2 drawers of Walco needles, and 1 drawer is Fidelitone.  The cartridges were in the remaining drawer.)

Check your inventory of needles and see which ones you would like to keep in YOUR inventory!! 

Thanks for looking here!!
