the needle comes from an electro brand record player. Sorry the images are so blurry but i hope someone could identified the model of this needle for a replacement.

The stylus looks like the ones on the old Shure cartridges, an M-91ED, M-93ED, M-95ED, etc., but you would need to check the cartridge for a name and number to match to be sure. It could be something else.

If you can’t find the cartridge number, just replace the whole cartridge, but make sure to be careful with the tiny clips, use needle nose pliers and be gentle.

Also if you change the cartridge, have someone show you how to re-set the tracking weight on the tone arm if you don’t know how. On most tonearms it only takes a minute.
