I found a old 1950s Bakelite Admiral Record player/Radio at a antique shop. It was in very good condition, it turned on the radio worked, but it seems that the needle for the player is blunt (Not much of a surprise). Now i am no record player expert. So i would just like to know what kind of needle this type of player would need to play 78 rpm records. I looked at the needle area, and there were some numbers "8 18 9". I am not sure what they mean, but if anyone knows, or has a little information on this matter i would greatly appreciate any help.
Also just while i am asking about this... I assume this is happening because of the needle. But it seems when i tried out a record the sound seemed like it would play through the speaker then switch to playing through the needle then back to the speaker. If anyone has any idea what that is about i would appreciate help with that too.
I also would put pictures to help, but i cant seem to upload any. I did find a picture on the internet that is a almost exact match to my player. So i hope it will help some. :]
Here is a link to the picture;

I also forgot to mention. The needle seems to be a cartridge needle, with the needle being slightly bent as it reaches its point.
My boyfriend bought me a turntable so i can play my records. I'm sort of a n00b at this..but what does size selection mean? I tried on both 17 and 30 but didn't notice any difference. This doesn't have anything to do with the 33.5 and 45 RPM does it? Thanks in advance.
Ohh. that makes sense. I always knew that 33.5rpm's are 12 inches and 45's are 7 inches, but it didnt occur to me the sizes are in cm...12 in = 30 cm, and 7in=17cm. Thanks a bunch!
I want to re-decorate my room, and I really like the idea for a 1920's themed or travel idea. Combining the two would be awesome. I was sort of picturing Indiana Jones-ish. I was thinking about having vintage maps on the walls, old suitcases, and an old record player, but that's about all the ideas I currently have. I also need to do this on a budget, but any ideas will help! Thanks in advance.
i just wanted to know that if i was to attempt to record the on demand shows on virgin media, would it work ?
help would be appreciated .
thanks in advance 
Okay, my friend and I (who both love Avatar: The last Airbender) are going to a space camp and it will be a long drive and I was thinking since I have a portable DVD player (Polaroid PDM-0714) and no DVD burner. HEY! Why not record Avatar onto a DVD-RW and play it on there! Well, it says Can't read DVD or something like that. Any Ideas? Maybe I need to do DVD-Rs? Even any guesses and Maybe you didn't ......................, are accepted. Anyway. TIA!Thanks In Advance!
It plays on my computer and it plays on my portable CD player, but not on the car CD player. Is there a special way to record so it will play in the car? Please help and thanks in advance.
Can I bring a portable media player with mp3's, recorded TV into another country and make it through customs?
I have a creative Zen Vision W portable media player, it has all of my music, recorded TV, home movies, pictures and other media Ect.
I am traveling to New Zealand later this year, and I am worried about going through customs with a device like this, is there any cause for concern? has anyone else gone through customs with a device like this? what about coming back to America?
Thanks in advance
My Sister has an upright console that has two parts stacked on one another. It has a TV - Radio and Record player with great speakers in the bottom half. I have looked everywhere on the web and have found pictures of the cabinet style consoles but not the upright ones. I am trying to find pics of these types so we can identify the year and model number.
Thanks in advance for your help
I'm a musician and would like to record myself using a portable mini-disc player. How can I make sure the chosen microphone is compatible with the player? Have you got any suggestions as to what would be a good make/model? I'd be happy to spend £50 to £100 on a second hand one on ebay.
Thanks in advance!

anywhere about it. I don't know the year or value. Does anyone know where I can find this out, or maybe you had a similar prob in the past and know the answer. It's in a cabinet the short long ones. It also is recent enough it has am and fm stereo. Thanks in advance
I was wondering what the difference is between a record player and a turntable.
Can you play records on both? You see on urbanoutfitters i was debating on whether to buy this Crosley AV Room Portable USB Turntable. because i recently was interested in old 80's music and i thought it would be neat to play them on vinyl.
Does this product play records or is it just to be like a DJ.. and what is the USB for(sorry not so good with technology) so if any one could please help me out and explain this to where i could understand that would be great! 
thanks in advance
So my big question really is can i listen to music on a turn table by just placing the record on it?
It was my great grandmother's and would like to know what it's worth. I have the serial number and where it was made, but there is no date on it. Thanks, in advance.
I have a Zenith Radio Wave-Magnet Model T505 and I'm wondering how much it is worth. It is in working condition and in very good shape. I would like to get either how much my radio is worth in value, or a good site for checking on how much old antique radios such as mine are. Thanks in advance...
