Are you sure the problem is that the backside of the needle is 
rubbing? I've never seen that (but I've never actually had to remove 
and replace a needle) and there are other things that can cause 
erratic needle movement.

Congratulations, but it they often work intermittently, so you'll 
need more experience with it before you know whether it's totally 
reliable or not.
