  • Meltrope Needle Sharpener

    A little machine for repointing gramophone needles which produces a point more perfect than the original! 

    It will appeal to those who prefer to use a non-ferrous needle, such as BURMESE Colour Needles, etc. By means of a uniform revolving feed motion, a perfect conical point at the proper angle is produced, thereby ensuring that the needle is making correct contact in the record groove, thus eliminating much wear and possible serious damage. 

    1930 price: 7/6.
