This Audiopoint Needle is new old stock. It came from a locally-owned electronic repair and sales business that has closed. They built and repaired tube amplifiers, ham radios, stereo equipment, and other electronic gadgets.
The owner passed away in 2018. I bought the remaining contents and inventory from a relative who needed the stores warehouse cleaned out. I have been trying to sort tens of thousands of tubes, gadgets, dusty boxes of parts, junk, vintage electric surplus, and new-old stock parts. I list these items as I get time.
