My neighbor has a 1966 Rock Ola Juke, he asked me to "look at it" because it "wasn't working anymore. First Step, he removed the needle and lost it. What kind of needle (cartridge) does he need? Any sources for these needles?
 
I have a Rock-Ola Princess Royal jukebox. When I got it, the needle was royally screwed up. A replacement stylus for the cartridge that was in there was kinda hard to find, so I just replaced the whole cartridge. It's just a standard half inch mount phono cartridge. I used a Sure M25C if I remember correctly. After replacement, I readjusted the tracking force to compensate for the newer style needle (older cartridges track at 5 grams, the newer one works better around 3). Worked great, and it was only like $30. I got it from Garage-a-Records.
