Hello
I am looking for American or English databases to identify needles for models of vinyl turntables.
I have customers in France where I offer spare parts for turntables on my website below :
https://www.boutique-pieces-detachees.fr/platine-tournedisque.html (https://www.boutique-pieces-detachees.fr/platine-tournedisque.html)
And several models are equipped with needles or cartridges which do not correspond to the French manuals which is not easy for identification.
So I'm looking for a set of manuals in English for all brands in pdf or other formats :-/O

In the United States turntables were sold with and without cartridges some were sold without tonearms.
Record players, changers mostly came with a factory cartridge, but many were replaced thru the years with subs.
I have always found the first job is to ID what is there now if you are looking for a replacement.
Check spelling, Phanstiel made a lot of replacement needles/cartridges, their catalog would be helpful for US and us.
