    I'm looking to repair my Dad's old record player, but I've no idea where in Cork sells needles anymore! I also don't no squat about what needle I need, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, that'd be wonderful!

    The record player is a Ferguson model 3047 according to the back of the unit.

    Try soundtrax, they do a load of DJ equipment and would be my first choice.

    try Munster Sounds down by the Leisureplex too. They do record players and needles, they might have the one you want.

    Cheers everyone for the info. I went to both places today but neither of them had the needle i needed (an ST-16). Staff in both places were very friendly and helpful though! Popped into Maplin on my way home on the off-chance, and would you believe it, Maplin came good! They had it and it wasn't overpriced! A Maplin first! Now to indulge in old Neil Diamond records......:D
