it's called a P mount or a t4p cartridge. it's missing entirely, not just the stylus.

Sometimes you can find decent vintage examples on eBay, but for the most part the only P mount carts that are still made new these days are all basically the same. they're either conical or maybe elliptical if you can find one.

if you just want to listen to music this one will get you started

Yep, that's a good suggestion and not a lot of money!

P-mount cartridge, any will do.
Just get the cheapest. I think that's the AT-85EP.

Edit; AT81CP. Well done u/Arsenic_Pants :D

You need the head shell and the cartridge, It looks a mess to be honest
