A friend had one of those new-fangled ones and asked me if I could come over to help her figure out how to put a new needle in. The manual was about 3/4 inches thick, and after an hour, I gave up! We could not figure out how to put a new needle in, which should be one of the easiest things to do!

This happened about 10 years ago, so I don't know if things have gotten better or worse!

Good luck!
