The other night I picked up a great few pieces of vintage equipment, including this turntable. See Link

Im looking to see if anybody can help pinpoint stylus replacement options for this

Thanks in advance.

Any grado replacement stylus will fit. Don't clean out the black goop.

I have a KD-2055 that came with the same cart labelled Grado GT.

It seemed like most would fit by looking at pictures - any recommendations ?

I noticed the black goop - don't clean it ?!? That was my first notion.
 
The black goop is part of the cartridge design, it needs to stay.

Your choice of "prestige series" stylus will fit. I suppose it's just a matter of budget! Nice thing about Grado is that you can still get current manufacture, factory stylus for it. I just started playing with a Grado and haven't replaced a stylus yet myself.

I'd check the cart carefully before spending any money on a stylus unless it's known to be good. Measure resistance across each channel with a digital multimeter, each channel should read something like 500-1000 ohms and nearly the same for each channel. Then hook up the cartridge on the table gently scrape the stub of the stylus with a finger - you should get a good noise from each channel when you do that.
