Needle replacement record cd - Teac Classic Nostalgia Stereo System GF 180 Shelf System

This appears to be a standard Crosley type player. I generally replace the cartridge with the needle due to problems in the past of the new needle not fitting properly. Search ebay for P-188d, The cartridge with new needle about $10 and the new needle will be an upgrade.

It is the arm sensor for the end of the disk.

Sarah, usually the needle is worn out or damaged and is why tone arm will not track in record groves. replace needle cartridge, links below will show what and how.

There's too much weight on the stylus or the needle is not inserted correctly.

go on ebay,if you carnt get it there,look on the back,or underside,of unit,you will see a model number,and there may be a website address,but I would try ebay first....jim

Hello
The needle and cartridge can be bought from most of the standard electronic sparepart selleing shops at your town. It will be best to replace the cartridge along with needle. Cartridge will have a number printed on it, should be noted. OK.

If the CD is the problem it could be scratched or dirty, clean the CD with a CD Cleaner if need be. If the CD mechanism is the problem the sled assembly may not be moving smoothly or is hindered ( the sled mech moves the laser across the CD like a needle arm move the needle across a record), the laser lens may be dirty also. Use a CD lens cleaner to clean the lens if you can not manually clean it with some lens cleaner and a swab. If the sled mechnism is the problem the unit may need to be taken in for service.

Record Player Needles
Welcome to our record player needles and turntable stylus page! We hope you find this page to be very friendly and useful in locating a replacement record player needle or stylus for your phonograph. Use the picture charts of the record needles, and the information request form to help you identify which record player needle or stylus you need.
When it comes to stocking needles, we carry and stock more than just the "top brands", "most often needed" or "most popular" like other places you'll find on the web. Our inventory is very extensive and broad. Ranging from sophisticated high end types to plain straight steel needles for antique crank or wind up models.

most likely this is the switch that selects among cd/tape/radio/record player. it could be the preamp circuitry in the player as well. it would not be the cartridge UNLESS you cannot see a little rubber 'seat' up inside underneath the cartridge that pushes the stylus tip out and down towards the record just a bit. if this rubber 'yoke' (seat) is missing you will get no sound even when you touch the needle tip when the record player section is selected.

Do a search for Crosby turntable cd recorder.... they are the same as the AWA.... and then you can find the make of needle etc.
