Hi, I still regularly use my dad's old Dynatron Goldring Lenco GL78 but rarely play 45s. Previously it hasn't been an issue when I have put one on.

Now, when I put a single on, the stylus skids across the record and adjusting the counterweight right to the end is not enough to solve it. Do I perhaps need a new needle (and I am bemused by which to choose) of is there anything else I can do? Current stylus is a cheap replacement that is a few years old but my partner chose it and can't remember his reasoning for the selection.
