Nope. Maybe some put nail polish on it? |

Does anyone have a source of replacement needles? I broke mine and am having trouble getting a decent unfaded replacement. I'm looking at having some laser cut from acrylic, but they are riveted on to the brass arbor so quite hard to replace. Tim |

Thanks very much. I've got one, but its very cloudy, worse than the original. I'd really like a nice clear one. Tim |

I wonder if Rodger Howard has access to originals? In case you aren't aware he's a real Mini enthusiast. http://www.howardinstruments.com.au/ |

I spoke to Roger Howard about them a couple of months ago. He didn't have a supply but was going to ask around. Roger mention the problem of getting the arbor apart, but I've worked out a method for doing that. Tim |

Sure, I will need to take some photos to properly illustrate it, but it isn't that hard - the needle is destroyed though. Tim |
