If you have a record player and the stylus (needle thing) is bent, do not play your records. The bent needle could damage the record. Get a replacement stylus. I found out last night that the stylus on my turntable was bent, probably during my last move, and I've been calling all over town searching for a replacement. None of the stereo stores in town carried them. I didn't feel like ordering one online and waiting 5 days. Then I tried Guitar Center. Jackpot. They carry them.

So there you go. If you need a new stylus for your record player, find a Guitar Center, or other similar music store that carries DJ equipment. They should have one.
