 "As for the tip being "blunt"---Well it IS called a "needle"---
  Ron Rich"
Ron, thanks and as I figured the tip should be sharp, however I have learned 
through the years that assuming things leaves the door wide open.  Not 
having seen his Jukebox, I wouldn't know what cartridge or needle to look 
for in your Mech Book.  I also sent him your email to purchase the Mech. 
Book.  He won't be back until end of January.
