A while ago I accidently hit the needle exactly and it was all bent over. I tried bending it back but it's messed up (noise and tends to skip aloooot), so I'll need a new one.

Now do I need to buy a new element, or is there a way to replace only the needle on my old element (stanton 500AL)?

in the old days needles would cost a couple of bucks as opposed to the 45 euro of a new element (or cartridge or whatever the things are called)



tnx in advance
