record stylus

[ripken204]

hi, im trying to find some a sylus/needle for 1 of 3 record players that i have.
none of these currently have a needle in them, so i have no clue what to model number of the needle is... but the models of the record players are:

quanta 420
tohshiba sr-v10
fisher 402

any help for finding info on what stylus i need and where i could get it would be highly appreciated, thx.

the problem here is this.

Virtually any cartridge/stylus can be put in virtually any turntable. To know what stylus you need, you first need to know which cartridge (brand and model #) is in the turntable.

but, in many cases, it may be easier and perhaps cheaper to simply replace the entire cartridge/stylus assembly.

well the cartridge for the fisher 402 is:
R1000EDT

and a quick google came up with this
http://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LG&Product_Code=SHSR1000EDT

so i guess i should get something like that ^^^ ? i couldnt find a cartrige number on the other 2 record players but i only need one.

edit: ive also just found a type of manuel for the cartridge, saying that the stylus is rs8t biradical.
