Inside the packaging, the syringe and needle are separately packed from the steel twisting mechanism used to secure the plunger to the syringe.
The glass syringe itself features a brown ink scale, ranging from 1ml to 2ml. Additional markings include “SOCOREX,” “200 °C,” and “SWISS MADE.”
The syringe has a fixed plunger that cannot be removed, and it features a metal tip designed for push-fit attachment of the record needle.
