How To Repair A Broken Stylus Needle || Audio-Technica AT95E

First of all don't throw your damage or broken stylus needle let's try to repair it. In repairing stylus needles there are two situations repairable and unrepairable.

  • Most impressed. I guess it's safe to say your hand is steadier than mine and eyes not as fuzzy. Brilliant.
  • @paulaj2829
    I must say that you have done a great job there because not everyone can afford a new stylus & to see that you can repair that little 95E is just proof that it can be done .. Well done again & great video for us guys out there who love anything to do with Hi Fi but don't have the big $$$$ to spend.

    Absolutely fascinating. I think I'm going to give this a try on my cartridge. Thank you!
  • @ricflomusic
    Genius! Kinda thing I was thinking as I got the wrong needle so for now I wondered if I can super glue on, now I need to find a safety pin to do why you done. Thank you
  • @krish8216
    Excellent job and good lesson for hobbyists. Thanks a lot
  • @QLog
    I did the same to my AT95E today, had to use a macro lens, I plan on replacing it but its was just such a satisfying challenge to do this.

    Woody, what piece of metal did you use to combine the needle pieces and was that flux you applied and then soldered? Thanks in advance. Great job by the way
  • You really should just replace the stylus. They're designed to be easily replaced because they wear out. I wouldn't trust the condition of the stylus if the cantilever was broken. A damaged stylus will destroy your records.
  • @ericodijk
    I like what you did but would never do it: There was a lot of stress on the cantilever part that was still connected to the magnets and I am surprised they returned to what seems to be their original position. You did however increase the total mass a lot. It will totally change tracking. Mass is slow as they say. It will totally damage your grooves (like driving a car with broken suspension, which hammers the road). And azimuth seemed to be off. But, again, great effort. Now better add tracking force instead of lowering it. And set money apart and buy a replacement.

    What chemical solution should I use to remove the Stylus from the Cantilever? Please tell me. Tks Bro!
  • @chrishershey5033
    Clever! Have you noticed any decrease in separation or volume?
  • @23salamander
    Impressive you got it to work, but you prob tripled the cantilever mass, which means its resonant frequency dropped a lot. Guessing it killed the high frequency response, but at least it makes music

    lol great broke off the black rubber in the process of trying make hole bigger
