Some of them are compatable with others; check the 'net for needles. http://www.needledoctor.com/s.nl IS ONE; btw, BSR is the manufacturer, and a pretty decent if not great one. Alos; make sure the cartridge (the thing the needle attaches to) is there, and not just the needle is missing. (Should have 2-4 wires hooked to it) Different needles for different stereo’s.

Basicly there are two types of needles used. Magnetic and none magnetic cartridges are used. And which ever cartridge you have tells you what kind of needle to replace in it. And the cartdrige is what the needle actualy fits in on the end of the toner arm. Bsr use to use magnetic cartridges but there have been alot of changes since the good old days. They may not be magnetic anymore. The last time i needed to find a needle for both kinds of cartridges i ended up at Radio Shack and they still had what i needed. but that was 10 or 15 yrs ago. And the only reason i have not needed to get another one is because if you take care of them they will last a long time. No, Not all turntables are the same.
