Magnavox Imperial Micromatic Needle - Need Help Identifying

[Jorgedlt1]

Hi, I want to order needles for a 1962 Magnavox Console (tubes). It's a Magnavox Imperial Micromatic, a Collaro (made in England) turntable I believe. No numbers anywhere. The console model number is 1ST657S. The needles on the unit have a little padding and come in an easily removable plastic housing.

Here are some photos. Can anyone help identify the correct needle or housing?

Thanks!

That's a different cartridge than I am used to see seeing on a Magnavox. Usually they have a flip needle Electro-Voice rather than a flip cartridge.
If no one else can identify this rather quickly, email Gary the owner of The Voice of Music

I found one needle that looks like it but I am not sure.

That is a Euphonics cartridge.

Hi Jorge -
I've got a request in with voiceofmusic right now on a similar collaro -- mine is a W602

useful video on how to change the needle here:

Question for the group: when refurbing one of these old micromatics, is it advisable to reflow/resolder the leads to the cartridge just to freshen that connection up?
