A mate of mine damaged a pin for a record cutting head, it’s essential to the head as it holds the cutting stylus so needed a replacement. Not an off the shelf part and the head itself is rather pricey, hence so are the parts of you can find them. Managed to make this instead from an M1.6 bolt and length of tungsten rod.
Just needed to drill a 1mm hole straight through the middle of the bolt. Easy stuff. Only took a couple hours to get it right. The first hour was taken up with making the first one then it pinging somewhere and never seen again.
Last photo shows it against. £2 coin for scale and the hole through the middle.
