Realistic Lab-49 Cartridge

Good evening. I'm new to this forum but I do have loads to share and ask.

My first inquiry involves my Realistic Lab-49 turntable. It spins well and plugs in, but the needle is so old and worn that it needs to be replaced. My trusty ATLP60X has wet the bed for good, so I figured I could finally get a replacement needle for the Lab-49. My only issue is I can't find much information on the type of needle/cartridge it requires. Any leads?

Thanks
Jah.

Go to radioshackcatalogs.com look in late 70's for the tt and it will probably state the "RS" cart it came with...then go to voiceofmusic.com to get the aftermarket (Shure?) stylus. ;)
 
Looks to be a BSR style turntable from ~1981, with a Tetrad flip-over stylus. OP should Google it and will find it easily...
 
I will look into those. Couldn't find much regarding that exact model online nor in the catalogs (I've perused them before to see what they went for back in the day).

I googled the Tetrad stylus, looks to be the same, but I will double check anyway. I'll post a picture of the cartridge and stylus, just so more qualified eyes can see it.

Very appreciative of the help,
Jah.
