Have You Tried the
BENNETT 4000·PLAY NEEDLE?
We feature the BENNETT 4000-PLAY NEEDLE because
we have found it to be the very finest needle available to
the music operator today , and by far the best value for
his money. We have sold thousands of these needles and
are yet to have one complaint concerning their perform-
ance ... certainly a record that bespeaks their superiority.
