dont laugh!
is there a possibility that a needle might be "worn" and that it may damage vinyl? my dad told me it could, and i'm wanting to believe cos he grew up in the "vinyl records" era. i know nothing of turntables, needles and such...so help me out here!
also, what's the best way to protect a vinyl record i dont plan on playing and want to keep as a souvenier??
thanx;)

i presume so, using a needle that is worn, so that it has a rough edge, probably equates geting a compass and scratching it around the track for a good few minutes.

| It does damage vinyl but the needle has to be pretty badly worn, you should mantain your stuff regularly anyways :rolleyes: |

Wen your normally listen to vinyl, the needle slowly damages your vinyl.
But a damaged needle or something like that can make that process go alot faster :P |

The more weight you have on the needle, the more wear on the vinyl...
Store vinyl in a cool, dry location, away from the sun, sealed from air (but not too tight, don't want to warp it) and it should last almost forever. |

Absolutely a needle will damage vinyl. I have experience from the old 45 and 78 days. We had to replace them often back then and I see no change in the mechanics these days unless you're using a diamond stylus or something.
Protect vinyl by protecting it in it's cover and don't expose it to temps where it will warp. Common sense here. Clean it with a velvet rag and some vinyl cleaner or light oil.

If I took a knitting needle and scraped the sharp end all across your skin, would you be ok with it?
