Needle required for record player

[Arkwright 10]

I recently purchased a second-hand Linwood stereo system which has a built-in record player. At the time that I purchased the stereo system, the seller mentioned that a new needle is needed for the record player. I have been looking everywhere for a needle, but have had no success. If anybody can assist me, I would really appreciate it. The model number is FX-1150. Here are some pictures that may be of assistance.

If you can't get a stylus, it might be worth considering buying a replacement cartridge for which styli are still available.
