78 RPM stylus for Crosley CR-88 CR 88 CR88 turntable
78 RPM STYLUS FOR CROSLEY CR-88 CR 88 CR88 TURNTABLE
The Crosley CR-88 CR 88 CR88 turntable was fitted
with a 3.0 mil spherical tip for correct tracing
of 78 RPM wide grooves thus resulting in accurate
rendition of voice and music. A photo of the stylus
replacement is supplied above. The color of the stylus
varies. Please verify and use this as a guide only since
the cartridge and stylus may have been changed through
the years.
To maintain the playback fidelity of your 78
records you really need to use a stylus designed
for 78 RPM records. A very common misconception
is that you can use a LP stylus for playing 78
records. This is one quick and sure way to damage
the 78 record grooves. Moreover, the LP stylus
is much narrower than the 78 record groove hence
the tip will slide to the bottom of the groove
where debris has collected for many decades.
This results in extraordinarily high surface
noise and inferior reproduction.
If the stylus above differs from what you have,
then it means you no longer have the fitted
cartridge. For us to assist you further, we
need the cartridge brand and model number. This
info is usually inscribed on the cartridge and
stylus.
