How to Replace the Turntable Stylus
The stylus should last about 50 hours. Replace when sound quality changes, as a worn stylus can damage records. 78 RPM records wear the stylus more quickly.
Removing the old stylus:
- Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push downward [downward-arrow].
- Remove the stylus by pulling it downward and forward simultaneously.
Installing a new stylus:
- Hold the front tip of the stylus and insert its rear edge first.
- Push the stylus upwards until the tip locks into place.
Caution: Do not bend the stylus. Do not touch the needle. Turn off power before replacing. Keep out of reach of children.
