Wanted--Gramophone needles

[oppy]

I inherited a 1923 HMV wind up gram, seized up and filthy. Anyway, it's now fully working (and clean) but has a rapacious appetite for needles. The original blurb says a new needle for each play, but I've got a tin of 1950s bronze ones that offer between 3 and 6 plays, but am fast running out. So among my fellow geriatrics, have you got any secreted away that would give you great pleasure in donating?

Well that’s a unique ask - hope it gets results. Have you explored other avenues? Hope you’re both well xx

Tried fleabay, but they are mostly interested in selling the tins, I don't care about tins, I just want to play my old R&R 78s
