Hi Guys!

A question:
My father in law just passed away, and I got his Beogram 4500 with MMC4 pick-up.
I'd say that he has played it for less than 50 hours in total over the years!

However, it sounds terrible. He dumped it in his attic some years ago with an LP still on. 
I suspect that while being carried around the needle may have been damaged.
I removed the pick-up and I don't know,  but surely does it look like the needle has been "pressed up", too close to the housing? 
Do I dare to bend it back? 

Or does it look OK..? I googled pictures, and I think that on most of them the needle i sfurther down than this. 

Opinions/Advice? 

Thanks,
Magnus

Hmm, sorry, the picture doesn't seem to be attached... I'm a rookie here and I will try again...
