Hi Leonard, and welcome!

Have you been using this record changer a lot? If so, that could easily be the reason for the troubles you are now experiencing.

That cartridge takes a special needle, and many of those cartridges have been ruined by people pushing steel needles or sapphire needles with a shank just slightly larger than the original into the cartridge - this enlarges the hole where the needle fits, damaging the cartridge beyond repair.

It is my understanding that replacement needles for these are next to impossible to find, but I suggest you talk to Gib at West-Tech Services about this - he may have some suggestions for you.
