Hello
I am looking for the stylus or needle for the ITT Océanic turntable model S 350
I have the stylus for 78 RPM records, but since I don't have any 78s, I need the stylus or needle for 45 - 33 RPM records;
I am attaching a photo of the turntable
Thank you for your help.

Hello.
My skills in this area are very limited, but I've never heard that the sapphire or diamond is different for 78s and 33s.
Can you imagine the change of the pickup head with each change of record format?
That said, maybe I'm completely wrong...

"But I have never heard that the sapphire or diamond was different for 78 RPM and 33 RPM."
Of course, the engravings are completely different
"Can you imagine the change of the needle setup with each change of disc format?"
Not at all, you see, the change is made by rotating the needle support, it's the little lever you see on the right of the head:
Right lever = microgrooves
Lever flipped to the left = 78 RPM

Well, in all this, what is the solution to listen to my old 45 and 33 RPM records from the 70s? Plus, I remember that the sound is great on this turntable model.
This would allow me to record the sound from these records, and that way, there won't be any software that will recognize the audio track, so I won't have any copyright issues.
Thanks, see you later.

"I remember that the sound is great on this turntable model."
I'm not so sure about that....
By the way, turntable + amplifier + speakers in the lid = record player
"it would allow recording the sound of these records"
I don't see how since there is no line output

Hello,
you could record the sound coming from the speakers with a microphone and go back to the 60s...^^
Regarding the 78 RPM stylus, it's bigger than the 33/45 and you will ruin your vinyls.
Check the back of your turntable to see if you have any DIN connectors or equivalent.
And pay close attention to this video:

Did you rotate the small lever (red round) to check if you have another sapphire?
On this turntable, the cartridge has dual needles: a sturdy one for 78 RPM and a finer one for 33/45 RPM.
Check with a magnifying glass if necessary to find out which one is the right one...

Hello
For €60 today you can get turntables with recording and MP3 converters. It might be worth considering.
good evening
old memory
recorded, yes read no
you switch from 45 to 33 RPM by adjusting the speed of the turntable
either with a button or by flipping the stylus
see at arm's length
