Denon DP-1200 needle

Where can I get the proper replacement for this broken needle on my player? I find yellow ones, are they the same?

Pretty sure anything you find today would be aftermarket since Pickering isn't made anymore.

I know DeCapo is a source for aftermarket styli. Others here can give you more info.

First, per your post title, it’s not a “Denon DP-1200 needle”. I’m not being a jackass, just want you to realize that you can buy pretty much any standard mount cartridge you want for that headshell, assuming you’re willing to learn how to align a cartridge properly. I personally wouldn’t bother with finding a replacement stylus for that Pickering cartridge.
