TCN1000 TCN2000 TCN3000 TCN4000
Ok after much research we have found the following:
• The original Technicraft needles are totally obsolete
• Technicraft is a marketing line that was released for a time by Audio Technica (still in business)
• We can modify the plastic housing of the above pictured plastic body style to fit your TC1000,TC2000,TC3000, or TC4000 TECHNICRAFT CARTRIDGES

Note: You will see evidence when you receive your needle that we have cut some of the plastic body. This modification has been fully tested. These needles are designed for the original manufacturer, Audio Technica.

AT modified the TC cartridge lineup just enough so that the AT needles would not fit. Supposedly so that they seemed to be from different manufacturers or something. We have verified that the metal housing and core of the TC series is the same as the AT12 series of cartridges by Audio Technica. Only the outer plastic parts differ. This would make sense so as to keep manufacturing costs as low as possible by not having to re-tool for the TC lineup. We excited to offer this 'mod' to keep your Technicraft cartridge up n running for years to come. Remember cartridges as a rule do not wear out, only needles do from contact with the record.


Factory specs:

TCN1000 = .7mil conical
TCN2000 = .4x.7 elliptical (orange plastic)
TCN3000 = .3x.7 elliptical (red plastic)

Note: All needles are interchangeable, you choose the quality level.
