Will this machine allow me to replace individual felting needles as they break or do I have to replace the whole unit?

You can replace individual needles as they break. I usually wait until I have 2 or 3 to replace. This is a nice machine for the price.

Yes, but depending on the usage you might want to replace the needle at that point or sooner.

That question just came up for me. The strings got tangled when I was working in the wetlands and I thought about taking it apart and comparing it to the one I use inside. That way I could restring it by using the other as a template. Since mine was totally sweaty/stinky after five years of hard use, I decided to get a new one to replace it. However, I kept the old one in case I needed parts off it. It looks to me that if you use a screwdriver (very carefully) you can back the screws out and restring it. You have to be careful because the screws look like plastic and so is the piece they screw into. Taking them out and putting them back in looks like it could result in stripping if you're not careful. You've really got nothing to lose by trying. Good luck!

The tambour needle set comes with instructions on how to replace needles and get other sizes also. Lacis.com is my choice to buy replacement needles!

Hi Joyce, you can! I actually just had to do this and the prices are pretty reasonable. If you do not see the replacement part listed on their website at: http://www.sunpentown.com/paacforicema.html , just call and they have it. I have had the machine for about 7 months and it has worked great for me so far.

If you have already crimped the edges, you will need to cut the coil off (cuts easily with scissors) and put a new coil on. If you have crimped the edges it is very easy to take it off and put a new one on. This machine for our business was a great purchase and we have found more ways to use it than we thought. Very professional looking and useful!

Your Crosley is a different unit than mine, cannot state what your needle replacement would be.

Hello. I've used the Crosley NP4 Replacement Record Needle whenever I had to replace mine and its very easy to install/works very well. Heres the link the the amazon page for it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00133MFBU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

no . you have to replace rollers. that's why my wife wanted entire set. It is almost as cheap and you get new unit.

Yes this unit is made up of a handful of different components, if one were to fail, you can replace each one independently. You would not need to replace the whole unit. Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any other questions. Will 623.224.9012 Abc Water Equipment

You can basically do either. I have done both and either works OK. It is easier of course to get the pre-wound factory units and they do package them in such a way, that they do not become unwound during transit, unlike the unit I received, the spool was unwound to start, so I had to redo it anyways. I'd say try both and see what you prefer, but both apply in any case, just depends on the individual I would say. The factory does do a good job and getting them wound perfect however. I suspect a machine does this by the perfection of the winde myself.

The machine uses pads or needles. It is shipped with pads. I have been told if U want needles U have to give a license for acupuncture. I use pads

Go to Turntableneedles.com online, give them the make and model number, and they will have your replacement needle.

It takes a 'normal' sewing needle. I use Schmetz brand #11s for general purpose. There are many reasons for needles breaking. Wrong needle for material or maybe the needle was too tight or too loose. I break needles in my embroidery machine almost weekly!

I had similar concerns. Organ makes needles as original equipment and replacements. They are OK to use. The larger consideration is to change needles as per factory recommendation. The tip gets rounded after hours of sewing.

sears sells them. I have one of these and half of the tines are broken. they cost from 7 to 12 dollars to replace which is nearly the cost of a whole new machine.
