It just occured to me that the RCA videodisc player had a diamond pick up stylus installed it The first DVD players 12" ones
Now these old dears are sold in the US for almost nothing as no one wants them any longer
I am not sure what the reproducing stylus looks like but I would not be surprised if it is very close to the shape we use today for cutting records It runs linear across the disc at play back just like a cutter rather than elliptical like a record player
So Physically it should be the same shape like the original cutting stylus which may be a bit finer than we use today as it cut at about 2000 odd LPI
never the less it is a triangular shape so it should not present any issues
Who is going to get one of those junk it and have a look at this closer?
I am quite a long way away so I cannot oblige
It may be a low cost option for US residents
