I have had a spate of broken needles which is surprising as I am not generally clumsy and have a light touch (I'm told).
If anyone has anything in the N97 or N92 range going cheap please let me know, even broken cantilevers with tips qualify as I have some suitable tubing for repairs, and a cactus plant for backup.
(Naturally the tip needs to be reasonable, I do (hopefully) want to use them without doing any damage.)
Happy New Year anyway...
