Repairing a Fisher Price Record Player

By sandy (Guest Post)

Don't throw it away, because at least you can find a repair shop and get it fixed for around 50.00. This may be cheaper than buying it in working condition. Starting with the needle is the best place to start but it also could be the cartridge with holds the needle that needs to be replaced. These run about 30-40 dollars. Thus the need of a repair person too. Good luck!

Seeking guidance on where to find a driver for the security screws on the bottom of the unit.

I have one too! My son had a blast when he found it the other day and put on a Star Wars instrumental record I still had. He thought he was in the fast track listening to it. ;p
Mine was the same when I bought it and yes it was the needle that needed replacing. I found a new one at Radio Shack. You can look in the yellow pages under record to see if there are any repair places near you that may have needles as well.

We use to tape pennies on top of it to weigh the needle down. A new needle is the way to go though.

You need a new needle. Google record player needles. They are still available and so worth it! I just love my record player and so enjoy playing my old records!
