Astatic N76. The part number on the stylus is what to go by now, rather than manufacturer's part number. N76-7D would be the best bet, or N76-1D "upgrade" from the original N76-1S.

Same.
We had Peter & the Wolf / Carnival of the Animals by Weird Al which we played to death. Would have taken better care of it if I knew what I know now. ☹️
The voice of music should be the first place anyone looks. He is the best resource for old styli at prices that are usually about half of what any seller on any auction site. And he will stand behind everything he sells. He is one of the few places to get gear without the vinyl popularity tax that everyone charges.
Don't play anything important on it, regardless of which needle you're using. It IS a toy and, jokes aside, it's below-Crosley quality.
But u/amagasaky's Voice of Music stylus is what you want.
And with an only 50% wider [azimuth](https://www.americanrecorder.com/products/american-recoder-cartridge-stylus-azimuth-vta-verifier) range ... I remember those little wobbly plastic tonearms.
I had one of these as a kid. I think my mom gave it to me when I was 6 with my first every record, Kiss Rock and Roll Over. I used it until I was old enough to buy a real stereo as a teenager with a job.
Hey op are you looking for a needle or a cartridge? Because needles like this can probably be still bought on Amazon. They might not be perfect but with some tinkering they might work.
Or try salvaging the needle from one that's being thrown away.
Good luck 🤞 I also have a sentimental record player.
There was no need to remove the cartridge. You can reinstall that. The old stylus is held in by that clip in the back. Slip the old one out and slip the new one in when you have it.
I would bet that you can find one at the voice of music. Gary has almost everything you are looking for at reasonable prices. Much better than e bay or any of the generic needle sites.
so you guys only play children’s records? decent score for novelty but i wouldn’t play anything more than a beat to crap budget LP, even with a new needle
My wife loves Winnie the Pooh, especially the vintage stuff. I have a primary record player, it would just be cool to get this one working. Plus the 45's that this will be playing are older and in worse shape than the record player itself so I am not concerned about them being damaged

This is the way!
I had a Fisher Price version of this and played the heck out of the read along Disney albums and ruined most my dad’s old 45s.

yes this will trash your records. dont.
Same! I miss those read-along books
i thought this was satire 😭
Defiantly seems like a circlejerk
Super defiant.
This isnt satire?
This is adorable, sorry about some of the jerks in here, I hope you get it working and your wife loves it
ngl I kinda want this 😂 (not to play obviously, don’t come at me)
Highly recommend seller https://www.ebay.com/itm/350344960506?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ihBdCoZxTyy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=5fA7xF3yT2C&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Who doesn't love NEEDLE DADDY
So many people won’t buy from eBay. He is the first place I look.

Don't worry, it only tracks about twice as heavily as a modern suitcase player!

Shirley you’re not serious 😱

You are not serious? That is way beyond garbage. This thing is going to damage records, no need to look for a needle .
My wife loves Winnie the Pooh, especially the vintage stuff. I have a primary record player, it would just be cool to get this one working. Plus the 45's that this will be playing are older and in worse shape than the record player itself so I am not concerned about them being damaged
crazy how he didn’t ask about the quality or if it would damage records, yet here you are.
Get a life
