Default Dansette Capri SL. New stylus?

Hi - I have a Dansette Capri sl and think I need a new stylus/needle but can’t find what I need or how to do it. Any help would be gratefully received.

Could you post clearer photos of the cartridge, someone on the forum will recognise it and may be able to help.

This is highly likely to need a stylus for a BSR X5M cartridge type ST12. These are easy to source through Musonic, The Stylus Lady , Mantra Audio and many others.

Looks like a Pinnacle clone of the Sonotone 2509. If the stylus has a totally plastic shank you need the GDD1.

Before ordering anything, you do realize these styli have two tips? moving the little black lever with 'LPS' printed on it thru 90º will expose the other (hopefully unused) tip.

If this is the plastic stylus I am thinking of they tend to jump on more modern records even if in good shape!

Some better pics would help.
