I have a Technics turntable Model #SL-QD33 for which I need a new
needle. The needle I need to replaace is SHURE M99E. Can you tell me
where I can find one?

I have located a needle for you.

I telephoned Garage-A-Records, in Cromwell, Indiana, and spoke with a
customer service representative who informed me that the Shure M99E
needle is now called the Shure N104E. Garage-A-Records has this needle
in stock, new and factory-fresh from Shure, for $23.95, plus $2.50
shipping.

At the Shure Website, I verified that the M99E stylus is now known by
the designation N104E.

My Google search strategy:

"SHURE" + "M99E"

Best wishes from a fellow vinyl fan!

I was ready to junk my turntable for a cheaper model because no one
could locate the needle I requested. You have saved me a lot of money
plus I kept my better turntable. And you did it by return e-mail.
Wonderful! I heartily recommend you. Thanks. Ed
