Every time you played an old 78, you needed to put a new steel needle in to the soundbox. It was recommended that a new needle be used for every side of the record played. So a box of 100 or 200 needles would not last you long!
The volume could be varied by using needles of differing thickness (soft, medium and loud) - the thicker the needle, the louder the volume. There was no volume control on the gramophone itself. These needles came in many different designs of needle tins. The main producers were Great Britain (Redditch and Sheffield) and Germany. Thousands of different brands were produced over the years. The tins are small, with very attractive graphics and are eagerly sought after by needle tin, tin and gramophone collectors. Tins can sometimes be found inside machines, at collectors' fairs (advertising and gramophone fairs), on eBay, live auctions, and by swapping with other collectors.
